Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1/2 cup full fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB Fit or PB2)
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
Chocolate Coating
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily’s)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup full fat Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter, 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter, and 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup. Stir the ingredients until smooth and well combined, ensuring an even distribution of flavors throughout the mixture.
- Form and Freeze the Bites: Line a plate or small baking tray with parchment paper. Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, portion the yogurt mixture into evenly sized bites—this recipe yields about 6 bites. Place the tray in the freezer for 10 to 20 minutes or until the bites are solid to the touch.
- Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the bites are freezing, melt 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil using either a microwave or double boiler. Stir frequently until you achieve a smooth, liquid chocolate mixture, suitable for dipping.
- Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once the yogurt bites are firm, dip each one thoroughly into the melted chocolate to coat evenly. Optionally, sprinkle each bite with flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets for a perfect sweet-salty balance. Place the coated bites in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to fully harden.
- Serve and Store: After the chocolate has set completely, the yogurt bites are ready to enjoy. For best freshness, store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. These bites make a refreshing and nutritious treat anytime.
Notes
- Use full fat Greek yogurt for creaminess and enhanced flavor; low-fat options might alter texture.
- Powdered peanut butter reduces overall fat content while keeping the peanut flavor prominent.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar as desired.
- Ensure bites are fully frozen before dipping to prevent melting.
- Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a nice contrast to the sweetness and richness.
- Store bites in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
