Ingredients
Yogurt Mixture
- 1 tbsp creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB2 brand)
Chocolate Coating
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (e.g., Lily’s brand)
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup full-fat 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 all ingredients are well 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 six evenly sized bites. Place them in the freezer for 10-20 minutes or until they are 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 in a microwave or using a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth and liquid.
- Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once solid, dip each yogurt bite into the melted chocolate to coat thoroughly. Optionally, sprinkle with flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets. Arrange coated bites on parchment and place them in the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
- Serve and Store: Once the chocolate is set, enjoy the bites immediately. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creaminess and better texture.
- Powdered peanut butter reduces fat but maintains peanut flavor.
- Melting chocolate with coconut oil creates a smooth, glossy coating.
- Sprinkling flaky sea salt enhances the flavor by balancing sweetness.
- Store bites in an airtight container in the fridge to prevent moisture buildup.
