The image shows a clear glass bowl filled with four large scoops of creamy, pale beige cookie dough mixed with dark brown chocolate chips. Each scoop is thick and textured, with visible folds and soft, slightly rough edges. The chocolate chips are scattered evenly throughout the dough, some sitting on top and others embedded within, creating a strong contrast with the dough's light color.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  2. Step 2: Add the rolled oats, mini chocolate chips, and salt to the mixture. Fold gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Step 3: Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and form small bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Once all the mixture is formed into bites, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1 hour to firm up.
  5. Step 5: After freezing, transfer the bites to an airtight container and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. Enjoy them straight from the freezer or let them sit for a few minutes to soften slightly before eating.

Tips & Variations

  • For a nut-free option, substitute almond or peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • Try adding chopped nuts or shredded coconut for extra texture.
  • If you prefer sweeter bites, increase the honey or maple syrup by a tablespoon.
  • Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor or white chocolate chips for a sweeter touch.

Storage

Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. To enjoy, eat them directly from the freezer for a firm texture or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator as they may become too soft and lose their shape.

Are these bites suitable for kids?

Yes, they are a healthy, kid-friendly snack made with natural ingredients and minimal added sugar. Just be mindful of any nut allergies when using almond or peanut butter.

  • These bites are best stored frozen and consumed within 2 months for optimal freshness.
  • Letting the bites thaw for a few minutes before eating improves their flavor and texture.
