Combining creamy peanut butter, tangy Greek yogurt, and rich dark chocolate, they offer a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Plus, they’re easy to make and great for a quick protein boost.

Ingredients

• 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)
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (Lily’s brand recommended)
• Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
2. Step 2: Line a plate or small baking tray with parchment paper. Use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to portion the yogurt mixture into evenly sized bites, about 6 pieces. Place them in the freezer for 10-20 minutes until firm.
3. Step 3: While the bites freeze, melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil using a microwave or double boiler. Stir frequently until smooth and fully melted.
4. Step 4: Remove the frozen yogurt bites and dip each one into the melted chocolate, coating thoroughly. Place them back onto the parchment-lined tray and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
5. Step 5: Once the chocolate has hardened, the bites are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in the fridge.

Tips & Variations

• For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter and powdered peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and powder.
• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture, or low-fat if you prefer a lighter option.
• Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the yogurt mixture for extra flavor.
• If you don’t have flaky sea salt, regular salt or no salt at all works fine too.

Storage

Keep the peanut butter yogurt bites stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage; just allow them to thaw a few minutes before eating. To refresh the chocolate coating, let them sit at room temperature briefly before consuming.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of yogurt?

Yes, you can use any yogurt you prefer, but full-fat Greek yogurt gives the creamiest texture and a good protein boost.

How do I melt the chocolate without burning it?

Use short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently, or melt the chocolate slowly over simmering water using a double boiler method. Stirring regularly helps prevent burning.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Yogurt Mixture

• 1/2 cup full fat Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB2 or PB Fit)
• 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup

Chocolate Coating

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily’s brand)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. 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 until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
2. 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 onto the lined surface, aiming for about 6 evenly sized bites. Place the tray in the freezer for 10-20 minutes until the bites are firm to the touch.
3. Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the bites are freezing, melt 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips together with 1 teaspoon coconut oil. Use a microwave in short intervals or a double boiler, stirring regularly until you achieve a smooth, liquid chocolate mixture.
4. Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once the yogurt bites are solid, dip each bite into the melted chocolate ensuring full coverage. Optionally sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before the chocolate sets. Place the coated bites in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
5. Serve and Store: Enjoy the frozen peanut butter Greek yogurt bites once the chocolate has set. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

• Use full fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and better taste.
• Powdered peanut butter reduces fat while maintaining peanut flavor, but regular peanut butter can be adjusted if preferred.
• To melt chocolate smoothly, avoid overheating by stirring frequently.
• Flaky sea salt enhances the sweet and salty flavor combination but is optional.
• Store bites in an airtight container in the fridge to prevent moisture buildup.
