Possible Ingredient Alternatives
Greek yogurt can be replaced with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free alternative. This substitution maintains the creamy texture and tangy flavor while accommodating those with lactose intolerance or following a vegan diet. Use the same amount as called for in the recipe.
Powdered peanut butter can be substituted with almond flour or coconut flour for those with peanut allergies. These alternatives provide a similar texture and nutty flavor. Use slightly less than the recipe calls for, as these flours are more absorbent.
Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave nectar for different sweetness profiles. Use the same amount, but note that honey has a stronger flavor that may slightly alter the taste of the final product. For a sugar-free option, consider using a liquid stevia extract, adjusting the quantity to taste.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt (full fat)
- 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (like pb fit, pb2, or similar brands)
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as lily’s)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)
Step 1: Prepare the Yogurt Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter (pb powder), creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup.
Stir the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and well-combined mixture, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
Step 2: Form and Freeze the Bites
Line a plate or a small baking tray with parchment paper.
Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, scoop the yogurt mixture onto the prepared surface.
Aim to create evenly sized portions; this recipe should make around 6 bites.
Place the bites in the freezer for 10-20 minutes or until they are solid to the touch.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate for Coating
While the bites are freezing, melt chocolate chips with a bit of coconut oil.
Use a microwave or a double boiler to melt them, stirring regularly, until you have a smooth, liquid chocolate mixture.
Step 4: Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites
Once the yogurt bites are solid, dip each one into the melted chocolate to coat thoroughly.
Sprinkle each with flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets, adding a touch of savory flavor.
Place the coated bites in the fridge to allow the chocolate to set completely.
Step 5: Serve and Store
After the chocolate has set, your yogurt bites are ready to enjoy.
For optimal freshness, store any remaining bites in the fridge for 3-4 days.
These make for a delightful and refreshing treat!
