Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Simple & Quick: Prep time is only about 20 minutes, and they freeze perfectly for an easy snack anytime.
Irresistible Flavor: The combination of yogurt, fresh strawberries, and granola creates a creamy, fruity, and crunchy sensation.
Eye-Catching Appeal: Their vibrant red strawberry topping makes these bites almost too cute to eat!
Flexible Serving: Perfect as a breakfast option, afternoon pick-me-up, or sweet treat after dinner.
Diet-Friendly Options: With just three ingredients, it’s easy to customize for gluten-sensitive or dairy-free diets.

Ingredients You’ll Need

½ cup granola: Use more for topping; this adds texture and a nutty flavor. For a gluten-free option, choose certified gluten-free granola.
1 cup yogurt of choice: Choose your favorite plain or flavored yogurt. Greek yogurt provides added protein, while plant-based yogurts make it dairy-free.
½ cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced: Sweet, ripe strawberries give a burst of flavor. Substitute with your favorite berries for variety.
¾ cup fresh strawberries, sliced or chopped: These will be pressed into the tops for added fruitiness.
¼ cup granola, smaller pieces work better: A finer granola mix works well here, ensuring a better topping without overwhelming the flavor.

How to Make Valentine strawberry yogurt bites

Prepare the Muffin Pan: Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners or use a silicone muffin pan for easy removal. Both options work perfectly—just pick your favorite!

Add Granola: Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of granola into the bottom of each cup. This base layer adds a delightful crunch that balances the creamy yogurt layer. Just set this aside for now.

Mix Yogurt and Strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup yogurt of choice and ½ cup hulled and diced strawberries. Using a pastry cutter or fork, mash the strawberries into the yogurt until mostly mixed, leaving a few chunky bits for texture. A gentle stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon will help incorporate everything evenly.

Spoon Yogurt Mixture: Now, it’s time to spoon about 2 tablespoons of this strawberry yogurt mixture into each muffin cup. Be sure to create an even layer so each bite is just right! A little tap on the counter helps smooth it all out.

Add Strawberry Toppings: Press about 1 tablespoon of sliced strawberries or a half-slice into the top of each cup. This not only enhances the flavor but also boosts the visual appeal.

Finish with Granola: Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of granola over the strawberry slices. This step gives added crunch and makes these bites visually enticing.

Freeze to Firm: Place the muffin pan into the freezer and chill until firm, which typically takes about 2 to 4 hours. You’ll know they’re ready when the yogurt bites feel solid to the touch.

Serve and Enjoy: Pop out each frozen yogurt bite from the muffin pan, give them a few minutes to thaw, then savor their deliciousness!

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months. They can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, but the texture may soften. To refresh a thawed yogurt bite, a quick pop in the freezer for a bit will help regain some of that original ice-cold texture!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid Over-Filling: Keep the yogurt filling to about 2 tablespoons per cup for the best texture and flavor balance.
Fresh Ingredients: Always choose ripe, juicy strawberries to ensure the best taste in your yogurt bites.
Texture Check: If you prefer a creamier texture, use full-fat yogurt. For a lighter option, low-fat yogurt works well, too.
Make Ahead: Consider making a double batch and storing one in the freezer to always have a quick snack on hand!

These three-ingredient wonders are not just easy to prepare; they also allow for creativity in the kitchen. You can play around with different toppings or yogurt flavors, leading to endless combinations of deliciousness!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Absolutely! Just thaw them out and drain any excess moisture before mixing them into the yogurt. However, fresh strawberries provide a more vibrant taste and texture.

How long do these yogurt bites last?

In the freezer, they can last up to three months. If you keep them in the fridge, enjoy them within a week for the best freshness.

Can I make them dairy-free?

Of course! Simply substitute regular yogurt with any plant-based yogurt, and enjoy a deliciously dairy-free snack.

Can I add other fruits?

Certainly! Feel free to mix in or replace strawberries with other berries, bananas, or peaches. Just make sure to adjust the amount based on the fruit’s sweetness!
