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)

  • Pinch of salt
  • 2–3 tbsp mini chocolate chips

Optional Add-Ins:

  • Crushed nuts

Let’s Do This

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

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).
