Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make transferring easier once frozen.
- Mix the Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, thoroughly stir together the Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until you obtain a smooth, fully combined mixture.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in half of the mini chocolate chips gently to distribute them evenly throughout the yogurt mixture.
- Portion the Mixture: Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly to avoid sticking together.
- Shape the Bites: Gently flatten each mound into a bite-sized round shape to ensure even freezing and easy snacking.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of each bite, pressing them lightly in for a decorative and tasty finish. Then, drizzle the melted coconut oil over the tops to provide a smoother texture after freezing.
- Freeze Until Firm: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm. Once set, transfer the frozen bites into an airtight container and keep stored in the freezer until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- For a sweeter treat, use vanilla Greek yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt.
- Almond butter or cashew butter can be used as substitutes for peanut butter if desired.
- Allow the bites to sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before eating to enjoy the best creamy texture.
