Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 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
- 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 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 approximately 6 evenly sized bites. Place the tray in the freezer for 10-20 minutes, or until the bites are firm and solid to the touch.
- Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the yogurt bites are freezing, melt the dark chocolate chips along with the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Stir frequently until the mixture is smooth and completely melted.
- Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once the yogurt bites are solid, dip each bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Sprinkle each coated bite with flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets to enhance flavor. Place the chocolate-coated bites in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
- Serve and Store: After the chocolate has set, the yogurt bites are ready to enjoy. Store any leftover bites in the refrigerator for 3-4 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For best results, use full-fat Greek yogurt for creaminess and protein content.
- Powdered peanut butter helps keep the mixture light while adding protein.
- The bites can be made ahead and stored in the freezer or fridge depending on your preference.
- Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a nice contrast to the sweetness and richness.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
