Greek Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp avocado oil
- Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
- Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Freeze the Bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop or spoon, scoop portions of the yogurt mixture onto the baking sheet. Freeze the bites for about 4 hours, or until they are fully frozen and firm.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the chocolate chips and avocado oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Coat the Bites: Dip each frozen Greek yogurt bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Place the coated bites back on the parchment paper. If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each bite while the chocolate is still wet.
- Alternative Chocolate Application: If dipping is difficult, drizzle the melted chocolate over the frozen bites for a simpler, though less uniform, chocolate coating. Let the chocolate set before serving.
Notes
- Use any nut butter of your choice for variety, such as almond or cashew butter.
- For a sweeter bite, adjust maple syrup quantity to taste.
- Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- To avoid melting while dipping, make sure the yogurt bites are thoroughly frozen.
- Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor and less sugar.
- If you have nut allergies, substitute peanut butter with seed butter like sunflower seed butter.
