Key Ingredients
- Vegan yogurt is the creamy base that freezes well and provides protein and calcium. I use Icelandic Provisions Oat Milk Skyr.
- Peanut butter adds richness, flavor, and fats. Also, who doesn’t love peanut butter?
- Banana slices bring sweetness and a great frozen texture.
- Maple syrup is a gentle natural sweetener that balances the tang of yogurt.
- Toppings like dark chocolate and chopped peanuts add some crunch and indulgence.
Hack It!
- Any non-dairy yogurt works! Go coconut for extra creaminess, soy for protein, or my favorite Icelandic Provisions Oat Milk Skyr in this recipe.
- Use sunflower seed butter and seeds for a nut-free version.
- Get creative with the toppings. As well as peanuts and chocolate, you can add dried cranberries, freeze-dried raspberries, or shredded coconut.
How to Make Peanut Butter Yogurt Bark
Step 1: Prepare a baking sheet with parchment. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, peanut butter and maple syrup.
Step 2: Spread evenly onto the parchment paper in a rectangle shape. Add the sliced banana and chopped peanuts.
Step 3: Drizzle the chocolate and peanut butter over the top. Freeze for four hours until hardened.
Step 4: Slice the bark into your desired size (I did 8 pieces), and store in a reusable container or ziplock bag in the freezer.
