Yogurt Bites Recipe

Introduction

Yogurt Bites are a delightful and refreshing snack that combines creamy Greek yogurt with peanut butter and a rich chocolate coating. They are perfect for a quick treat or a healthy dessert that’s easy to make and enjoy anytime.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
• 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (like PB Fit, PB2, or similar brands)
• 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily’s)
• 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. Stir the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
2. Step 2: Line a plate or a small baking tray with parchment paper. Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, portion the yogurt mixture onto the prepared surface into evenly sized bites. Freeze for 10-20 minutes until solid.
3. Step 3: While the bites freeze, melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil using a microwave or double boiler. Stir regularly until smooth and fully melted.
4. Step 4: Once the yogurt bites are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate to coat completely. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Place the coated bites in the fridge to let the chocolate set.
5. Step 5: After the chocolate has hardened, the yogurt bites are ready to enjoy. Serve immediately or store as directed below.

Tips & Variations

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
• Swap maple syrup for honey or agave syrup if preferred.
• Try milk or white chocolate for a different coating taste.
• Add a sprinkle of chopped nuts inside the bites for extra crunch.

Storage

Store leftover yogurt bites in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. For longer storage, keep them in the freezer and let thaw slightly before eating. Refrain from microwaving; instead, let them come to room temperature naturally for best texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

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

You can, but powdered peanut butter helps keep the mixture firm and less oily. Using only regular peanut butter may make the bites softer and more difficult to freeze.

Are these bites suitable for children?

Yes, these yogurt bites are a nutritious and tasty snack suitable for children, but always check for any peanut allergies before serving.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Yogurt Mixture

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
• 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

1. Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, well-combined mixture with all ingredients evenly incorporated.
2. 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 onto the parchment, creating evenly sized bites. This recipe yields approximately 6 bites. Place the bites in the freezer for 10-20 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch.
3. Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the yogurt bites freeze, melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil. Use a microwave in short intervals or a double boiler, stirring regularly, until you have a smooth, liquid chocolate mixture.
4. Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once frozen solid, dip each yogurt bite thoroughly into the melted chocolate to coat completely. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before the chocolate sets to add savory contrast. Place the coated bites in the refrigerator to let the chocolate harden completely.
5. Serve and Store: After the chocolate has fully set, enjoy your delicious yogurt bites. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

• Full-fat Greek yogurt gives the best creamy texture, but low-fat can be substituted if preferred.
• Powdered peanut butter reduces added fat and calories compared to creamy peanut butter alone.
• Adjust maple syrup amount for desired sweetness, or substitute with honey or a sugar-free sweetener.
• Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and healthier profile.
• Ensure yogurt bites are completely frozen before dipping to prevent melting during coating.
• Store bites in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh up to 4 days.
• For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and use a nut-free powdered alternative.
