Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites are a delicious and nutritious frozen treat combining thick yogurt, peanut butter, and dates for a chewy center, all topped with a smooth chocolate layer. Perfect as a healthy snack or dessert, they offer a delightful blend of creamy, sweet, and salty flavors with a satisfying texture contrast.

Ingredients

Scale

Yogurt Mixture

  • 1 cup thick yogurt (Greek or coconut yogurt work best)
  • 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (can also substitute peanut butter or vanilla flavored protein powder)
  • 3 tbsp peanut butter
  • 3–4 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Generous pinch of sea salt

Dates

  • Dates, pitted and ripped in half (or chopped for folding into mixture)

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Chopped peanuts, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Yogurt Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, powdered peanut butter, peanut butter, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding extra maple syrup if desired.
  2. Prepare Dates: Pit the dates and rip each in half, then roll each half into a ball. Alternatively, chop the dates and fold them into the yogurt mixture if you prefer a distributed chewy texture rather than a center.
  3. Assemble Bites: Use a mini muffin tin and divide the yogurt mixture evenly, filling each cup about one-third full. Place one date ball in the center of each cup, gently pressing it down to embed it slightly in the yogurt mixture.
  4. Melt Chocolate: In a small bowl, combine chopped chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Spoon melted chocolate over each filled muffin cup, covering the yogurt mixture and date centers. Optionally, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top for added crunch.
  5. Freeze Until Firm: Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 2-3 hours, allowing the bites to fully set and firm up. Once solid, remove from the molds, optionally sprinkle with sea salt, and store in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use thick Greek or coconut yogurt for best texture and firmness.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey according to taste.
  • Rolling dates into balls creates a chewy caramel-like center; chopping and folding gives a uniform date flavor throughout.
  • Coconut oil helps melt the chocolate smoothly and keeps it glossy.
  • Store bites in airtight containers in the freezer; let sit a few minutes at room temperature before eating for easier biting.
  • Optional toppings like chopped peanuts or a sprinkle of sea salt add extra flavor and texture contrast.
