Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (dairy or non-dairy)

2 tablespoons almond butter

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

1/4 cup almond flour

Pinch of sea salt

Directions

In a medium mixing bowl, I combine the Greek yogurt, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. I stir it all together until it’s smooth and creamy.

Then I add in the almond flour, mini chocolate chips, and a pinch of sea salt, mixing everything until well combined.

I line a mini muffin pan with silicone liners (or grease it lightly), then spoon the mixture evenly into each cavity.

Using the back of a spoon, I smooth out the tops so they look nice and uniform.

I place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm.

Once frozen, I pop them out of the pan and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. I let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before eating.

Variations

Nut-Free: I swap the almond butter for sunflower seed butter and the almond flour for oat flour to make this recipe nut-free.

Extra Protein: I stir in a scoop of vanilla protein powder for an added boost.

Berry Twist: I mix in a few chopped strawberries or blueberries for a fruity version.

Chocolate Lovers: I drizzle melted dark chocolate over the tops before freezing.

Vegan Version: I use a dairy-free Greek-style yogurt and vegan chocolate chips.

Storage/Reheating

I store these bites in an airtight container in the freezer, where they stay fresh for up to 3 weeks. When I’m ready to eat, I let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly. These aren’t meant to be reheated, since they’re a frozen snack, but they’re perfect straight from the freezer after a short rest.

FAQs

How long do cookie dough frozen yogurt bites last in the freezer?

They stay fresh for up to 3 weeks in an airtight container. I always make sure to seal them tightly to avoid freezer burn.

Can I make this recipe without almond butter?

Yes, I’ve used other nut or seed butters like peanut butter or sunflower seed butter and it works well — the flavor just changes slightly.

Are these safe for kids?

Absolutely! I love that they’re made with wholesome ingredients and no refined sugar, which makes them a great kid-friendly treat.

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt gives a thicker, creamier consistency, but if I only have regular yogurt on hand, I can use it — I just know the texture will be a bit softer.

Do I need silicone liners for the muffin pan?

Silicone liners make removing the bites easier, but if I don’t have them, a lightly greased muffin pan works fine too. I just make sure the bites are fully frozen before popping them out.

Conclusion

These cookie dough frozen yogurt bites are one of my favorite healthy treats to keep stocked in the freezer. They’re creamy, lightly sweet, and packed with just enough chocolate to feel indulgent without going overboard. Whether I’m craving a quick dessert or need a snack that feels a little special, these bites always hit the spot.
