Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (245g) plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole milk preferred, nonfat works too)
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) natural nut butter (almond, cashew, or peanut; unsweetened)
  • 1/4 cup (30g) oat flour (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) pure maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons (30g) mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dairy-free)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon (8g) protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • Optional: coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, nut butter, and maple syrup. Stir until smooth and creamy (about 30 seconds). If nut butter is cold, microwave for a few seconds to soften.
  2. Sprinkle in oat flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the mixture thickens and resembles soft cookie dough. If runny, add 1-2 teaspoons extra oat flour.
  3. Gently fold in mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  4. Mix in optional add-ins (chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or protein powder) if desired. If using protein powder, add a splash more yogurt to keep texture soft.
  5. Using a cookie scoop or two teaspoons, portion dough into 12-14 small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and arrange on a parchment-lined tray.
  6. Freeze tray for 1-2 hours, or until bites are firm to the touch. For softer bites, check after 45 minutes.
  7. Once frozen, transfer bites to an airtight container. Store in freezer up to 2 weeks. Let sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before eating for best texture.

Notes

Use cold Greek yogurt for best texture. If dough is sticky, add more oat flour; if dry, add more yogurt. Mini chocolate chips freeze better than regular. For vegan or nut-free, use appropriate substitutes. Taste dough before freezing and adjust salt or vanilla as desired. Store in freezer for up to 2 weeks; let thaw a few minutes before eating.
