Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
- 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
Instructions
- Prepare the yogurt mixture: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Fill the molds: Spoon the yogurt mixture into silicone molds or an ice cube tray. Press gently to pack the mixture evenly into each cavity.
- Melt the chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short bursts of 15-20 seconds, stirring between bursts until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Freeze the bites: Place the filled molds in the freezer and freeze for about 1 hour until the yogurt bites have set solid.
- Coat with chocolate: Remove the bites from the molds and quickly dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Final freeze: Place the coated bites back onto a tray or parchment-lined plate and freeze for an additional 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
Notes
- Use silicone molds for easier removal of the bites after freezing.
- Ensure that the chocolate is not overheated to prevent it from seizing.
- These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- For a sweeter option, increase the maple syrup according to taste.
- Substitute dark chocolate with semi-sweet or milk chocolate based on preference, noting it will affect sugar content.
