Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) natural runny peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) chocolate for melting
Protein and Sweeteners:
- 6 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
Additional Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- ½ tablespoon (7.5 milliliters) coconut oil
Instructions
- Whisk Greek yogurt, protein powder, peanut butter, and maple syrup in a mixing bowl until achieving a velvety, uniform consistency.
- Gently fold mini chocolate chips into the creamy mixture, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, creating a smooth surface for your yogurt clusters.
- Carefully drop generous spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared parchment, spacing them to allow room for freezing.
- Optional: Insert wooden sticks into the center of each portion to create convenient popsicle-style treats.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer, covering loosely with plastic wrap to prevent frost formation.
- Allow the yogurt clusters to solidify completely, typically requiring 2-3 hours of freezing time.
- When frozen, prepare the chocolate coating by melting chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring between 30-second intervals until smooth and glossy.
- Remove frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer and carefully dip or drizzle each piece with the melted chocolate coating.
- Return the chocolate-covered clusters to the parchment paper, allowing the chocolate to set for approximately one minute.
- For additional texture and flavor, sprinkle chopped peanuts or a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate coating.
- Store the completed yogurt bars in a freezer-safe container, placing parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
