The Good Stuff You’ll Need
For the Bites:

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (use full-fat for creaminess)
1/4 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
1–2 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Let’s Do This

Step 1: Mix It Up
In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, almond flour, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
Stir until it looks like thick, glorious cookie dough.

Step 2: Add the Goodies
Fold in the mini chocolate chips (and any other add-ins your heart desires).

Step 3: Chill It Down
Pop the bowl into the freezer for about 20 minutes. This firms up the dough and makes it easier to scoop.

Step 4: Roll ‘Em
Scoop out small portions and roll into bite-sized balls.
Place them on a parchment-lined tray.

Step 5: Snack Time
Keep them stored in the fridge or freezer for easy grab-and-go treats!

Serving Suggestions

Roll them in crushed nuts or coconut for extra texture.
Dip them halfway in melted chocolate if you’re feeling fancy.
Serve with a side of berries for a balanced snack plate.

Switch It Up

Swap peanut butter for cashew butter for a sweeter, milder flavor.
Add a little cocoa powder for chocolate cookie dough vibes.
Use dairy-free yogurt for a vegan version.

Make-Ahead Tips

You can prep these bites and freeze them for up to 2 months.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 5–7 days (if they last that long).
