Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites
Whether you need a post-workout pick-me-up or just want something delicious to snack on, this is the easy recipe you’ve been waiting for!
Ingredients
- Plain Greek yogurt – I love Oikos Pro for a high-protein option. Whole-fat Greek yogurt also works for a creamier texture.
- Natural peanut butter – classic Fatso is my go-to, but creamy peanut butter or even almond butter or cashew butter would be great too.
- Dark chocolate chips – any melting chocolate of your choice works! If using traditional chocolate chips, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to help with a smooth chocolate coating.
- Salted peanuts, chopped – adds the perfect crunch and salty balance to the sweet treats.
- Maple syrup, optional – for added sweetness and to combat the tart flavour of the Greek yogurt.
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt and peanut butter until smooth. If you like it sweeter, add a drizzle of maple syrup.
2. Use a cookie scoop or a pastry bag to portion out small circles of the yogurt mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Smooth each one with the back of a spoon into thin circle shapes.
3. Freeze for about 30 minutes. This helps the clusters firm up before dipping in chocolate.
4. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 15 to 30-second intervals, stirring each time to prevent it from seizing. If needed, stir in a teaspoon of coconut oil for a silky texture.
5. Dip each frozen yogurt cluster into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to let excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the baking sheet.
6. Top with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts or even flakey sea salt for extra flavor.
7. Place clusters back in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours until the chocolate shells are set.
8. Store in an airtight container or freezer bag and enjoy any time of day!
Tips & Tricks
- Dairy-Free Option – swap out the Greek yogurt for unsweetened coconut milk yogurt for a delicious dairy-free alternative.
- Make It Sweeter – if you like things on the sweeter side, mix in a liquid sweetener like maple syrup or honey.
- Change Up the Nut Butter – almond butter, cashew butter or sunflower butter all make great swaps for peanut butter.
- Try White Chocolate – if you prefer a milder chocolate flavor, use white chocolate for a fun twist on the classic peanut butter cup taste.
- Use an Ice Cube Tray – instead of scooping onto a baking sheet, use an ice cube tray or cupcake liners and a muffin tip to shape your bites into cups for a perfect snack.
