Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter (preferably natural and unsweetened)

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose either vanilla or plain, unsweetened)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for a touch of sweetness)

1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free optional)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (for melting the chocolate)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use a whisk or spatula to mix the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

    Incorporate Oats: Gradually add the rolled oats to the mixture, stirring well to ensure the oats are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt-peanut butter blend.

      Line the Molds: Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with silicone muffin cups or paper liners. This will facilitate easy removal of the cups after freezing.

        Fill the Molds: Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup with the yogurt-oat mixture, packing it lightly. Fill each cup about three-quarters full, then use a spatula to smooth the tops for an even finish.

          Freeze: Carefully place the muffin tin in the freezer. Allow the mixture to freeze for at least 1 to 2 hours, or until the yogurt cups are firmly set.

            Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate mixture is smooth and fully melted.

              Top with Chocolate: Once the yogurt cups are firm, remove them from the freezer. Drizzle or pour the melted chocolate over the top of each cup, ensuring they are well-covered.

                Refreeze: Return the topped yogurt cups to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the melted chocolate to set completely.

                  Serve: When ready to enjoy, carefully remove the cups from the muffin tin. You can serve them straight from the freezer for a chill treat, or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes for easier biting.
