Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
- 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB Fit, PB2, or similar)
- 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
Topping (Optional)
- Flaky sea salt 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 the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and evenly mixed texture.
- 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 into approximately six evenly sized bites. Place the tray in the freezer for 10-20 minutes or until the bites are solid to the touch.
- Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the yogurt bites are freezing, melt the dark chocolate chips together with the coconut oil. Use a microwave in short intervals or a double boiler method, stirring regularly until the chocolate mixture is smooth and liquid.
- Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once the yogurt bites have solidified, dip each bite thoroughly into the melted chocolate to coat. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before the chocolate sets. Place the chocolate-coated bites in the fridge to let the chocolate harden completely.
- Serve and Store: After the chocolate has set, the yogurt bites are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For creamier bites, use full-fat Greek yogurt as specified.
- Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content while retaining peanut flavor.
- Melting chocolate slowly prevents burning and ensures smooth coating.
- Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a lovely contrast to the sweetness.
- Store in the fridge and consume within 3-4 days for optimal taste and texture.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking during freezing.
