FAQs

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?

Yes, you can use flavored Greek yogurt, but it may alter the sweetness and flavor balance of the bites. Plain yogurt gives you full control over sweetness.

Can I make these without peanut butter?

You can substitute other nut butters like almond or cashew butter, or even sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option, but the flavor and texture will vary slightly.
