# Instructions:
01 -
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This crucial step prevents sticking and ensures easy removal of your High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites | No-Bake once they are frozen solid.
02 -
In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp fine sea salt, and 2 tbsp softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the Velvety Peanut Butter Yogurt Core is completely smooth and uniform.
03 -
Using a small cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons) or two spoons, drop 16 equal portions of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each portion into a disc shape. Freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm enough to handle, ensuring your High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites | No-Bake hold their shape.
04 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup dark chocolate chips and 1 tbsp coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the Decadent Chocolate Coating is completely smooth and melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
05 -
Remove the firm yogurt bites from the freezer. One by one, dip each frozen bite into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the coated bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Work quickly to keep the High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites | No-Bake cold.
06 -
Immediately sprinkle each chocolate-coated bite with 1/4 cup finely chopped roasted peanuts, 1 tbsp mini chocolate chips (optional), and 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt. Return the baking sheet to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is fully set and firm.
# Notes:
01 -
For a different flavor profile, try using almond butter or cashew butter instead of peanut butter, or swap dark chocolate for milk or white chocolate.
02 -
Store these High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites | No-Bake in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2-3 weeks. They are best enjoyed straight from the freezer.
03 -
The type of protein powder can affect the texture of the core. Whey protein generally yields a smoother result, while some plant-based proteins might make it slightly thicker. Adjust maple syrup if needed.
04 -
Allow the bites to sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before eating for a slightly softer, creamier texture, though they are perfectly delicious straight from the freezer too.
