No-bake banana peanut butter yogurt pie cups in dessert cups

Recipe Summary

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Chill Time: 2 hours (or 45 minutes frozen)
  • Total Time: Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes
  • Servings: 8
  • Cuisine: American
  • Course: Snack, Dessert
  • Calories: 220 per serving

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (135 g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (150 g) soft pitted dates
  • 1/2 cup (125 g) natural peanut butter, divided
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 cups (480 g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Place the rolled oats, soft pitted dates, and 1/4 cup (30 g) of the peanut butter into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together when pressed, about 30-40 seconds. It should be crumbly but able to form a compact base.

  2. Divide the crust mixture evenly among 8 silicone muffin cups. Press each firmly into the bottom and up the sides to form small shells. Using the bottom of a glass or your fingers, really pack the crust to prevent it from falling apart later.

  3. Chill the crusts in the fridge for 20 minutes to firm up.

  4. Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the bananas, Greek yogurt, remaining 1/4 cup (30 g) peanut butter, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Taste for sweetness and cinnamon; adjust if desired.

  5. Spoon the banana peanut butter mixture into the chilled crusts, dividing it evenly.

  6. Return the filled cups to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to let the filling set properly. Alternatively, for a firmer, cooler treat, freeze them for about 45 minutes before serving.

  7. Serve chilled right from the silicone cups or pop them out onto a plate for a cute mini pie presentation.

Recipe Notes

  • Press the crust firmly and evenly into the cups; if it’s too loose, the cups may crumble when serving.
  • Make sure your dates are soft and sticky; if they seem dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes first.
  • Ripe bananas with brown spots add the best natural sweetness and a creamy texture to the filling.
  • If you prefer a sweeter filling, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, but the dates usually supply plenty of sweetness.
  • For easier cleanup and portion control, silicone muffin cups work best, but lined muffin tins also work.
  • Allow the cups to chill fully—this firms up the yogurt and sets the flavors nicely.
