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 (e.g., Lily’s)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Optional Topping
- Flaky sea salt
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 everything together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Form and Freeze the Bites: Line a plate or small baking tray with parchment paper. Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the yogurt mixture onto the prepared surface, aiming to create about 6 evenly sized bites. Place the tray in the freezer for 10 to 20 minutes or until the bites are solid to the touch.
- Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the yogurt bites freeze, melt the dark chocolate chips together with the coconut oil. This can be done in the microwave in short bursts, stirring regularly, or over a double boiler until the mixture is smooth and liquid.
- Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once the bites are solid, dip each one into the melted chocolate to fully coat it. Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt if using. Place the coated bites in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate shell to set completely.
- Serve and Store: After the chocolate has set, the frozen peanut butter Greek yogurt bites are ready to enjoy. For best quality, store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days, keeping them fresh and delicious.
Notes
- Use full fat Greek yogurt for creaminess and better texture.
- Powdered peanut butter helps reduce fat while maintaining peanut flavor.
- The dark chocolate coating can be customized with different types of chocolate if preferred.
- Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a nice balance to the sweetness.
- These bites are best enjoyed chilled or frozen.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
