Overview of Recipe Content

These cookie bites are a snack-meets-dessert creation that’s just as fitting for an afternoon pick-me-up as it is for a light after-dinner treat. They’re portable, kid-friendly, and made with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.

Why you’ll love them:

  • No refined sugar (naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup).
  • Packed with protein from Greek yogurt and peanut butter.
  • Quick and simple—ready in under 20 minutes.
  • Portion-controlled and freezer-friendly.

Taste & texture: Chewy from the oats, creamy from the peanut butter, slightly tangy from the yogurt, and rich from the melty chocolate topping.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (for topping)

Tools you’ll need:

  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Substitutions & Additions:

  • Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter.
  • Use dairy-free Greek yogurt to keep it vegan.
  • Add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or shredded coconut.
  • Use dark chocolate or white chocolate chips for variety.
  1. Preheat & prep – Warm your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix wet ingredients – In a large bowl, stir together peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Add dry ingredients – Stir in oats and baking powder until a thick dough forms.
  4. Scoop & shape – Drop tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet.
  5. Add chocolate – Press a few chocolate chips on top of each cookie bite.
  6. Bake – Bake for 10–12 minutes until set but still soft.
  7. Cool & enjoy – Let cool for 5 minutes (the chocolate will still be deliciously melty).
  • A tall glass of cold milk (dairy or plant-based).
  • Coffee or tea for an afternoon treat.
  • A fruit smoothie for a balanced snack plate.

Tips for Making It Perfect

  • Don’t overbake—they’re best slightly soft in the center.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture.
  • Chill the dough for 15 minutes if it feels too sticky.
  • Batch bake & freeze—these freeze beautifully for quick snacks.

Storage Instructions

  • Room temp: Keep in an airtight container up to 2 days.
  • Fridge: Store up to 1 week for best freshness.
  • Freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for 10–15 seconds.
