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 (e.g., Lily’s)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter, 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter, and 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- 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 about six evenly sized bites. Place them on the prepared surface and freeze for 10-20 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
- Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the bites freeze, melt 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil using a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth and liquid.
- Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once the yogurt bites are solid, dip each into the melted chocolate ensuring full coverage. Optionally sprinkle flaky sea salt on each bite before the chocolate sets. Place the coated bites in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
- Serve and Store: After the chocolate sets, the bites are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture and better flavor.
- Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content but still gives excellent peanut flavor and protein.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
- Flaky sea salt is optional but enhances the chocolate’s flavor with a salty contrast.
- These bites are best stored in the fridge rather than the freezer once coated to keep the chocolate from cracking.
