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 the full fat Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- 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 six evenly sized bites on the parchment. Place the tray in the freezer for 10 to 20 minutes or until the bites are firm to the touch.
- Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the yogurt bites freeze, melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil using a microwave or double boiler. Stir regularly until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once the yogurt bites are solid, dip each bite into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on each coated bite before the chocolate hardens. Transfer the coated bites to the fridge to set the chocolate fully.
- Serve and Store: After the chocolate has set, the bites are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days to keep them fresh and tasty.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content while maintaining peanut flavor.
- Dark chocolate chips from brands like Lily’s provide a lower sugar option.
- Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a nice contrast to the sweetness.
- Store in the refrigerator rather than freezer after coating to preserve the chocolate texture.
- These bites are perfect as a quick protein-rich snack or a guilt-free dessert alternative.
