Butter Yogurt Bites Recipe

Introduction

This Frozen Peanut Butter treat is a deliciously creamy and refreshing snack combining the richness of peanut butter with the cool tang of Greek yogurt. Coated in dark chocolate and finished with a hint of sea salt, these bites are easy to make and perfect for a quick indulgence.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
• 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Mix until smooth and well blended.
2. Step 2: Line a plate or small tray with parchment paper. Scoop the mixture into about six evenly sized bites and place them on the tray. Freeze for 10–20 minutes until firm.
3. Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in short bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
4. Step 4: Dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate to coat. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
5. Step 5: Place the coated bites back on the tray and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate sets completely.

Tips & Variations

• Use natural creamy peanut butter without added sugar for a cleaner taste.
• Swap dark chocolate chips for semi-sweet or milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter coating.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the yogurt mixture for extra flavor.
• For a nut-free option, try using sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.

Storage

Store the frozen peanut butter bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. When ready to eat, allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Avoid storing at room temperature to prevent melting and spoilage.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of powdered peanut butter?

Yes, but powdered peanut butter helps reduce the fat content and keeps the mixture less dense. Using only regular peanut butter will make the bites richer and possibly softer.

What if I don’t have coconut oil for melting chocolate?

You can melt the chocolate chips on their own, but adding coconut oil helps achieve a smooth, glossy coating that hardens nicely. Alternatively, use a neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil in small amounts.

Main Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
• 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup

Chocolate Coating

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Topping

• Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended, ensuring a creamy texture.
2. Shape and Freeze: Line a plate or a small tray with parchment paper. Scoop the yogurt mixture into about six evenly sized bite-sized portions and place them on the tray. Freeze for 10 to 20 minutes until the bites are firm and easy to handle.
3. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil by heating in short 15-20 second bursts, stirring well between each to achieve a smooth, lump-free chocolate sauce.
4. Coat the Bites: Dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate, fully coating it. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top to add a savory contrast and enhance flavor.
5. Set the Coating: Place the chocolate-coated bites back onto the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely, providing a crisp shell over the creamy center.

Notes

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
• Powdered peanut butter reduces fat but maintains peanut taste, making the bites lighter.
• Maple syrup adds natural sweetness – substitute with honey if desired.
• Ensure bites are fully frozen before dipping to prevent melting.
• Flaky sea salt is optional but highly recommended to balance sweetness and add a gourmet touch.
• Store finished bites in the refrigerator or freezer for longer shelf life.
