Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup plain Greek yogurt Use unsweetened for the tangy base.
  • 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter Stir before measuring so it blends smoothly.
  • 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup Add more only if you want a sweeter frozen treat.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract For rounded flavor.
  • 0.25 tsp salt Balances sweetness and boosts peanut flavor.
  • 1 banana slices For topping.
  • 1 honey For topping; use maple syrup if preferred.

Method
 

Blend the base
  1. Whisk plain Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt together until completely smooth, with no streaks of peanut butter.
  2. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if needed, then whisk again until smooth.
Freeze or churn
  1. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 4 hours, stirring every hour for the first 2 hours to prevent large ice crystals.
  2. Alternatively, churn in an ice cream maker until thick and scoopable for a smoother frozen yogurt texture.
  3. Let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping so it softens slightly for clean scoops.
Serve
  1. Top with banana slices and a drizzle of honey, then serve immediately while creamy.

Notes

Pro tip: warm the honey slightly (10–15 seconds in the microwave) if it pours slowly, so it blends evenly. Store covered in the freezer up to 1 month; for best texture, thaw 5–10 minutes before serving. Freezing is best—no separate freezing step needed beyond the recipe. For a higher-protein swap, use a thick, high-protein Greek yogurt (or strain regular Greek yogurt) so the froyo stays extra spoonable.
