Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Bars - Easy GF Dessert Bars Recipe! (2024)

Why You’ll Love This Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Bars Recipe

I am totally a dessert girl. Specifically, I’m an ice cream girl. So any time I can find a way that lets me indulge my cravings for something cool and creamy on a daily basis, I’m all over it. That’s why I started making these peanut butter bars. It’s just as indulgent as a regular ice cream bar, but with ingredients you can feel good about. Here’s why you’ll love them…

• Homemade is best! Sure, you could grab a package of ice cream bars at the store but my recipe is so much better! Plus, the Greek yogurt adds creamy protein without being too sweet, and all of the ingredients are safely gluten free.
• Peanut butter and chocolate. As you may know, this is one of my favorite pairings (try my homemade dark chocolate peanut butter cups recipe for a candy take on this duo). I love the mix of creamy frozen peanut butter and crisp chocolate in these bars.
• So cold and refreshing. My kids love these bars on a hot summer afternoon and so do I! You can also easily double the recipe to feed a crowd if needed.

What You’ll Need

Uncomplicated ingredients form the base of these refreshing dessert bars. Don’t forget to check the recipe card at the end of this post for the full ingredient amounts.

• Greek Yogurt: I recommend using a plain variety of low-fat or whole-fat Greek yogurt so that it doesn’t compete with the other flavors in the bars.
• Peanut Butter: Creamy peanut butter is best so that it seamlessly blends into the bars.
• Maple Syrup: You can use maple syrup or honey interchangeably for a touch of natural sweetness.
• Vanilla Extract
• Peanuts: Add roastedand salted peanuts for extra flavor and crunch.
• Chocolate: I love semisweet chocolate in these frozen treats, but you can certainly use any type of chocolate you prefer, such as milk chocolate or even white chocolate.
• Coconut Oil: Either refined or unrefined coconut oil is fine to use, just note that if you use unrefined coconut oil it may have more of a coconut flavor.
• Other Tools: Popsicle sticks and wax paper or a silicone baking mat. I also like to use a cupcake scoop.

Tips for Success

I recommend using whole milk yogurt to make these bars so that they stay nice and creamy even after being frozen. You can add more chocolate to the filling, or make the recipe as written.

Proper Storage

Place the frozen peanut butter frozen yogurt bars in an airtight, freezer-safe container or sealable and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can also wrap each bar separately in plastic wrap before placing them in the container.
