These peanut butter Greek yogurt bites are the perfect treat with a smooth and creamy yogurt center and a crisp layer of chocolate on the outside.
I have been making these peanut butter Greek yogurt bites on repeat lately so I had to share! I love the combo of peanut butter and chocolate and the nutrition facts are on point with 6 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber per bite!
They kind of remind me of the Clio Snacks Greek yogurt bars and they’re soo easy to make. I can’t wait for you to try them.
Ingredients Needed
- Greek yogurt – I used Fage 5% full fat Greek yogurt because that’s what I keep on hand but you can use low fat or non fat, if desired. The center just won’t be as creamy.
- peanut butter powder – this adds protein, peanut butter flavor and helps firm up the Greek yogurt center. There are a lot of brands out there to choose from like PB Fit, PB2 or Clean Simple Eats powdered peanut butter.
- peanut butter – this adds more peanut butter flavor and some richness to the bites.
- maple syrup – this is the natural sweetener I used to sweeten the bites. You’re welcome to use another liquid sweetener like monk fruit or stevia to make these lower in sugar.
- chocolate chips – I recommend using Lily’s dark chocolate chips. These particular chocolate chips will keep the bites lower in sugar and increase the fiber content.
- coconut oil – this is just to thin the chocolate mixture so it’s easier to dip the bites. The melted chocolate coconut oil mixture becomes like a homemade magic shell!
- flaky sea salt – this is just for topping and it’s totally optional, but I love a little flaky sea salt on my chocolate desserts.

Can you use real peanut butter instead of powdered peanut butter
Hi Lisa – I haven’t tried it, but that should work. I would recommend using 3 TBSP of natural peanut butter. Enjoy!
Sooooo I did these in low sugar with all ingredients. I try stay away from it but high protein and they still are amazing….so easy also. I’ll see when my hubby gets home and tests them out. Thank you for such a great recipe!!
YUM! I hope he loved them, Yvette. I am glad you gave these a try and they turned out great for you. Thanks for sharing your review + star rating, I appreciate it!
I would love to make this in a coffee flavor because… everything is better in coffee flavor lol.
have you tried it by chance?
Ohh I haven’t – But I wonder if some instant coffee would work in here? Let me know if you give it a try!
Can you store these in the freezer for longer than 3-4 days ?
Hi Niki – I haven’t had them last long enough to see if they last longer than 3-4 days. Let me know how it works for you!
Can you use non fat Greek yogurt?
Sure! It might not be as creamy, but it’ll work great. Enjoy!
I just made these for the first time. They were AHmazing!! Love them! A yummy and health-ier treat 🙂
WOO! So glad you gave these a try and are loving them. Thanks for coming back and sharing your review & star rating, I appreciate it!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE!! It combines all my favorite things into one delicious treat! 🤩
I use sugar free vanilla yogurt instead of Greek yogurt and then I don’t put in the maple syrup and then I also use sugar free chocolate chips, it makes a super delicious sugar free treat 😋🩷
YUM! I am so excited to hear that you are loving these, Madi! Thanks so much for giving them a try and for sharing your review & star rating, I appreciate it!
I only have nonfat yogurt will that work?
That should be fine. They might not be as creamy though. Enjoy!
Lovely! I didn’t have pb powder, so in addition to extra pb in the yogurt, I added chopped peanuts to the chocolate topping. Also added a chunk of banana in the centre. I assembled in mini muffin cups as I usually make a mess when I try to dip chocolate. Will make again!
YUM! These are some of my favorite snacks, Laura. I am so glad you gave these a try and are loving them. Great idea to assemble in muffin cups to reduce the mess! Thanks so much for sharing your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
these are excellent! I don’t review very many recipes, but I had to review this one. these were delicious and I was very pleasantly surprised. I’ve tried other similar healthy peanut butter ball type recipes, but none with Greek yogurt. super yummy! I altered the recipe a bit to suit my needs so I left out the tablespoon of peanut butter. and I added a scoop of chocolate protein powder instead of the maple syrup. I also didn’t find it necessary to add the coconut oil to the chocolate chips. I just tempered it instead. thanks for a delicious recipe!
YUM! I am so glad you are gave this recipe a try and it turned out great for you. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review & star rating, it means so much to me!
