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 (optional, for topping)
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 ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Form and Freeze the Bites: Line a plate or small baking tray with parchment paper. Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, scoop the yogurt mixture onto the prepared surface making evenly sized portions. The recipe yields about 6 bites. Place them in the freezer for 10-20 minutes or until they become solid to the touch.
- Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the bites freeze, melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil. Use either a microwave or a double boiler method, stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth and liquid.
- Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once the yogurt bites are solid, dip each one into the melted chocolate until fully coated. If desired, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before the chocolate sets to add a savory touch. Place the coated bites in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
- Serve and Store: After the chocolate coating has fully set, 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 to achieve the best creamy texture and flavor balance.
- Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content while maintaining peanut flavor and protein.
- Melting chocolate gently and stirring frequently prevents burning and ensures a smooth coating.
- Optional flaky sea salt enhances flavor by balancing sweetness with a hint of saltiness.
- For easier handling, allow bites to freeze completely before dipping in chocolate.
- Store bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and firm.
