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 (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 full fat Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are 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 into evenly sized bites, aiming to make about 6 pieces. Place the tray in the freezer for 10-20 minutes or until the bites are firm to the touch.
- Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the bites are freezing, melt the dark chocolate chips together with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler. Stir regularly to ensure a smooth, glossy liquid chocolate ready for dipping.
- Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once the yogurt bites are solid, dip each one into the melted chocolate to fully coat. Optionally, sprinkle with flaky sea salt just before the chocolate sets to enhance the flavor. Place the coated bites in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
- Serve and Store: Enjoy your frozen peanut butter Greek yogurt bites immediately or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
Notes
- Use full fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture and richer flavor.
- Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content while maintaining peanut flavor.
- Adjust maple syrup amount to suit your preferred sweetness level.
- Dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao is recommended for a healthier coating option.
- Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a delightful sweet-salty contrast.
- Freeze bites just until solid; overfreezing may make them too hard to bite easily.
- Store bites refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for the best taste and texture.
