Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cookie Dough
- 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 the yogurt mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Make the cookie dough: In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, melted butter or coconut oil, salt, and brown sugar together until a crumbly dough forms with an even consistency.
- Add the chocolate chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough mixture, distributing them evenly without mashing the chips.
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and facilitate freezing.
- Form dough balls: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to form small balls of the dough mixture and place them evenly spaced onto 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.
- Add yogurt topping: Use a spoon to place a dollop of the prepared yogurt mixture on top of each flattened dough bite, slightly spreading it if desired.
- Freeze the bites: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the bites for at least 2 hours, or until they become firm and solid enough to handle.
- Store the bites: Once frozen, carefully remove the bites from the baking sheet and transfer them to an airtight container. Store them in the freezer for later enjoyment.
- Serve: Before serving, allow the bites to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt and coconut oil instead of Greek yogurt and butter.
- Adjust sweetness by using more or less honey/maple syrup or brown sugar to taste.
- These bites are best enjoyed within 1 week for optimal freshness.
- Make sure to press the dough balls firmly to avoid them falling apart when topped with yogurt.
- Allow bites to thaw slightly before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
