Blueberry Greek Yogurt Bites Recipe

Introduction

These Blueberry Greek Yogurt Bites are a refreshing and healthy snack, perfect for a quick treat or breakfast on the go. Creamy Greek yogurt pairs with a bright blueberry compote, creating a delightful balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

• 1½ cups (370g) plain Greek yogurt (2% or full-fat for extra creaminess)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (or erythritol for a keto-friendly version)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup (100g) fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for texture and fiber)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Prepare the blueberry compote by combining the blueberries, lemon juice, and optional honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently until the berries soften and release their juices. Lightly mash the mixture to create a jam-like consistency.
2. Step 2: Remove the compote from heat and stir in chia seeds if using. Allow the compote to cool completely to avoid melting the yogurt later.
3. Step 3: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
4. Step 4: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture into each cavity of a silicone mini muffin tray or ice cube tray, filling about three-quarters full.
5. Step 5: Add ½ teaspoon of the cooled blueberry compote on top of each yogurt portion. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the compote into the yogurt, creating a marbled effect. Keep swirls gentle for a pretty two-toned look.
6. Step 6: Place the tray flat in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
7. Step 7: Carefully remove the bites from the silicone molds. If using a harder mold, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make removal easier.
8. Step 8: Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer. Thaw slightly for 2–4 minutes before serving to achieve a creamy consistency.

Tips & Variations

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer and creamier texture.
• Swap blueberries for other berries like raspberries or blackberries for different flavors.
• For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped nuts or granola on top before freezing.
• To make a vegan version, use coconut or almond-based yogurt and maple syrup.

Storage

Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When ready to eat, let them thaw for 2–4 minutes at room temperature to soften and become creamy without melting completely.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries for the compote?

Yes, frozen blueberries work well. Just thaw slightly or add a minute or two to the cooking time to help them break down.

Can I make these without honey or sweetener?

Yes, you can omit honey or sweetener if you prefer a less sweet bite. The natural sweetness of the blueberries and yogurt will still shine through.

Blueberry Compote

• ¾ cup (100g) fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for texture and fiber)

Yogurt Base

• 1½ cups (370g) plain Greek yogurt (2% or full-fat for extra creaminess)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (or erythritol for a keto-friendly version)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Blueberry Compote: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, and optional honey. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the berries soften and release their juices. Lightly mash with a spoon to achieve a jam-like consistency.
2. Cool the Compote and Add Chia Seeds: Remove the compote from heat and stir in chia seeds if using. Let the mixture cool completely to prevent melting the yogurt during assembly.
3. Make the Yogurt Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired to balance the tartness of the yogurt.
4. Assemble the Bites: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture into each cavity of a silicone mini muffin tray or ice cube tray, filling it about ¾ full.
5. Add the Blueberry Swirl: Place ½ teaspoon of the cooled blueberry compote on top of the yogurt in each cavity. Use a toothpick, skewer, or knife tip to gently swirl the compote through the yogurt for a marbled effect.
6. Freeze: Place the tray flat in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours or until the bites are firm.
7. Serve and Store: Carefully remove the bites from the silicone molds. If the mold is hard, let the bites sit at room temperature for a few minutes for easier removal. Store in an airtight container in the freezer. Thaw for 2–4 minutes before serving for a creamy texture.

Notes

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
• Blueberry compote can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• For a keto-friendly version, substitute honey with erythritol or another low-carb sweetener.
• Silicone molds work best for easy removal, but if using harder molds, allow bites to soften slightly at room temperature before unmolding.
• Optional chia seeds add fiber and texture while helping the compote set into a gel-like consistency when frozen.
• Feel free to experiment with other fruit compotes like raspberry or strawberry.
