Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cookie Dough Mixture
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until smooth and creamy, ensuring the mixture is evenly blended.
- Make Cookie Dough Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, melted butter or coconut oil, salt, and brown sugar until a crumbly dough forms, resembling edible cookie dough texture.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the cookie dough mixture to evenly distribute them without breaking the chips.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and ease removal of the frozen bites.
- Form Dough Balls: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to form small balls of the cookie dough mixture, placing them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Flatten Dough Balls: Gently press each dough ball with your fingers to slightly flatten them, creating a base for the yogurt topping and ensuring even freezing.
- Top with Yogurt: Use a spoon to add a dollop of the yogurt mixture on top of each flattened dough bite, spreading slightly if desired for a balanced bite.
- Freeze Bites: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the bites for at least 2 hours or until they are firm enough to handle and serve.
- Store Bites: After freezing, remove the frozen bites from the baking sheet and transfer them to an airtight container. Store them in the freezer to maintain freshness and texture.
- Serve: Before serving, allow the frozen bites to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, making them easy to bite into and enjoy.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt and coconut oil for the dough.
- You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar for a lower glycemic index sweetener.
- Use mini chocolate chips for better distribution and bite-sized chunks in the dough.
- Store leftover bites in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Letting the bites soften a few minutes before eating enhances the creamy texture of the yogurt topping.
