Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
- 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB Fit, PB2)
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
Chocolate Coating
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (e.g., Lily’s)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Topping
- Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- 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 (about 6). Place them in the freezer for 10-20 minutes until firm to the touch.
- Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the bites freeze, melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil either in the microwave in short bursts or over a double boiler, stirring frequently to achieve a smooth liquid consistency.
- Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once the yogurt bites are solid, dip each one into the melted chocolate, fully coating them. Optionally sprinkle flaky sea salt over the coated bites before the chocolate sets. Place dipped bites in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to harden completely.
- Serve and Store: After the chocolate has set, enjoy your yogurt bites immediately or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
Notes
- Using full-fat Greek yogurt adds creaminess and richness to the bites.
- Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content while maintaining flavor and protein.
- For a different flavor, try swapping maple syrup for honey or agave nectar.
- Make sure the yogurt bites are fully frozen before dipping to prevent melting the chocolate.
- Store the bites in the fridge rather than the freezer after coating to maintain the chocolate texture.
- Flaky sea salt enhances the flavor by adding a subtle salty contrast to the sweet and nutty bites.
