Peanut Butter Blueberry Frozen Yogurt Bites
Some snacks are worth keeping in the freezer at all times, and peanut butter blueberry frozen yogurt bites are one of them. A layer of honey-sweetened Greek yogurt, a creamy peanut butter center and a scatter of juicy blueberries freeze into little cups that taste like a cross between frozen yogurt and a PB&J. They take about 10 minutes of hands-on time, need no oven, and are just as good as an after-school snack as they are for a late-night sweet craving.
This version is built to fix the most common complaint about frozen yogurt bites: that they freeze rock-hard and icy. A few small tweaks to the yogurt and the peanut butter keep every bite creamy and easy to eat straight from the freezer.

Ingredients for Peanut Butter Blueberry Frozen Yogurt Bites
- 1 cup (about 245 g) plain Greek yogurt, 2% or whole-milk
- 1 to 1½ tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 small pinch of salt
- ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for a softer peanut butter layer)
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Ingredient Notes and Smart Swaps
Greek yogurt: Thick Greek yogurt gives the bites body and protein. Low-fat or whole-milk yogurt freezes noticeably creamier than nonfat, because fat interferes with large ice crystals forming.
Honey: Beyond sweetness, honey keeps the yogurt slightly softer once frozen. Maple syrup or agave works the same way and keeps the recipe vegan if you also use a plant-based yogurt.
Peanut butter: Creamy, drippy natural peanut butter spreads most easily. If yours is very thick, warm it briefly with the coconut oil. Almond butter, cashew butter or sunflower seed butter (for nut-free classrooms) are all easy swaps.
Blueberries: Fresh berries add bursts of juicy flavor. Frozen berries work too, see the FAQ below.
Equipment You’ll Need
- A standard 6-cup or 12-cup muffin tin
- Paper or silicone muffin liners (silicone makes removal easier)
- A mixing bowl and spoon
- A small microwave-safe bowl for the peanut butter
How to Make Peanut Butter Blueberry Frozen Yogurt Bites
- Prep the tin. Line 6 cups of a standard muffin tin with paper or silicone liners. For bite-sized snacks, line 12 mini muffin cups instead.
- Mix the yogurt base. In a bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla and salt until smooth. Taste and add a touch more honey if you like it sweeter, since flavors taste milder once frozen.
- Fill the liners. Divide about two-thirds of the yogurt mixture between the liners, roughly 2 tablespoons per cup, and tap the tin to level the tops.
- Soften the peanut butter. Microwave the peanut butter (with coconut oil, if using) for 10 to 15 seconds, then stir until pourable.
- Add the peanut butter layer. Spoon about 2½ teaspoons of peanut butter onto the center of each yogurt cup. Use a toothpick to swirl it lightly if you want a marbled look.
- Top it off. Spoon the remaining yogurt over the peanut butter, then press several blueberries into the top of each cup.
- Freeze. Freeze until completely firm, about 2 hours.
- Rest and serve. Let the bites sit at room temperature for 3 to 5 minutes before peeling off the liners and eating.
Tips for Creamy (Not Icy) Yogurt Bites
- Skip nonfat yogurt. Nonfat yogurt has the most water and the least fat, which is the fastest route to icy, hard bites.
- Don’t skimp on the sweetener. Sugar lowers the freezing point of the yogurt, so a little honey makes a real difference in texture.
- Dry your berries well. Water clinging to washed blueberries turns into frost on the surface.
- Cover them once frozen. Air exposure causes freezer burn, so transfer the bites to an airtight container as soon as they set.
- Give them a few minutes on the counter. A short rest takes them from icy-firm to creamy and spoonable.
Flavor Variations to Try
- PB&J: Add ½ teaspoon of strawberry or blueberry jam on top of the peanut butter layer.
- Chocolate-dipped: Dip the frozen bites in melted dark chocolate mixed with a little coconut oil; it sets almost instantly on the cold yogurt.
- Crunchy: Sprinkle granola, chopped roasted peanuts or hemp seeds on top before freezing.
- Mixed berry: Use raspberries, chopped strawberries or a mix of berries instead of blueberries.
- Banana peanut butter: Mash a quarter of a ripe banana into the yogurt base for extra natural sweetness.
- Extra protein: Stir 1 to 2 tablespoons of powdered peanut butter into the yogurt.
How to Store Frozen Yogurt Bites
Once fully frozen, remove the bites from the muffin tin and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag, with parchment between layers so they don’t stick. They taste best within 2 to 3 weeks and keep for up to about 2 months, although the texture slowly becomes icier over time. Don’t refreeze bites that have fully thawed.

FAQ
Can I use flavored yogurt?
Yes. Vanilla Greek yogurt is the best choice and pairs especially well with peanut butter and blueberries. Since flavored yogurt is already sweetened, cut the honey down or leave it out completely, then taste the base before filling the liners. Blueberry, honey or coconut flavors also work nicely, but strong flavors like lemon or strawberry will compete with the peanut butter.
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Absolutely. Use them straight from the freezer without thawing so their juice doesn’t bleed into the yogurt and turn it purple. Small wild blueberries are ideal because they spread more evenly across each bite. If you pick fresh berries, rinse and pat them completely dry first.
Why do my bites turn out icy?
Icy bites usually come down to too much water and too little fat or sugar. Nonfat yogurt, wet berries, too little sweetener, or bites left uncovered in the freezer are the most common causes. Switch to 2% or whole-milk Greek yogurt, use the full amount of honey, dry the berries well, store the bites airtight, and let them rest a few minutes before eating.
