Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (choose smooth or crunchy based on your preference)

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

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or more if you love chocolate)

A pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: crushed nuts, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, carefully combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Using a whisk or spatula, mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well-blended.

      Incorporate the Oats:

        - Gradually fold in the rolled oats into the yogurt mixture. Stir until all the oats are coated, creating a delightful texture that adds a nutritional boost.

          Mold the Cups:

            - Line a muffin tin with silicone or paper liners to make removal easier. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, spoon the yogurt and oat mixture into each liner, filling them about three-quarters full to allow for expansion during freezing.

              Melt the Chocolate:

                - In a microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips. Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is completely smooth. Be cautious not to overheat; if the chocolate isn't melting easily, lower the intervals to 10 seconds.

                  Drizzle and Top with Chocolate:

                    - Once melted, carefully drizzle the chocolate over each yogurt cup, ensuring there’s an even layer covering the top. For a smoother finish, you can use a spatula to gently spread the chocolate.

                      Freeze the Cups:

                        - Place the muffin tin in the freezer for a minimum of 3 to 4 hours, or until the yogurt cups are completely frozen solid, ensuring a perfect texture.

                          Serve with Style:

                            - After freezing, gently remove the cups from the muffin tin and peel off the liners. For an added flair, sprinkle on your choice of optional toppings like crushed nuts, mini chocolate chips, or shredded coconut to enhance flavor and crunch.

                              Storage Tips:

                                - Store any leftover Frozen Yogurt Peanut Butter Cups in an airtight container in the freezer, where they will keep fresh for up to a month—if they last that long!
