Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cookie Dough Base
- 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 the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the sweeteners and vanilla are fully incorporated for a flavorful yet light topping.
- Make the cookie dough base: In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, melted butter or coconut oil, salt, and brown sugar. Stir until a crumbly dough forms, which should hold together slightly when pressed.
- Add chocolate chips to dough: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the almond flour dough mixture, distributing them evenly without overmixing to maintain a chunky texture.
- Prepare the 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 dough mixture and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Flatten dough balls: Gently press each dough ball with your fingers to slightly flatten it, creating a base for the yogurt topping and helping the bites freeze evenly.
- Top with yogurt mixture: Use a spoon to add a dollop of the prepared yogurt mixture on top of each dough bite, smoothing it gently to cover the surface.
- Freeze the 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 without losing shape.
- Store frozen bites: Once frozen, carefully remove the bites from the baking sheet and transfer them to an airtight container. Store them in the freezer to keep fresh and ready to enjoy.
- Serve: Before serving, allow the bites to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, making them easier and more enjoyable to eat.
Notes
- You can substitute the honey or maple syrup with a sugar-free sweetener to make this recipe diabetic-friendly.
- Use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free or vegan variation (if vanilla yogurt is replaced accordingly).
- Ensure the almond flour is finely ground for best texture in the cookie dough base.
- These bites are best eaten within one week for optimum freshness.
- Feel free to experiment with mini white chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added variation.
