Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
