Why we love this recipe
It’s easy and makes for a healthy treat or snack. It’s also kid-friendly, which can come in handy if you're looking to get your little one to eat a bit healthier. Peanut butter and yogurt are good protein sources and can leave you with a bit more energy and feeling satisfied for longer.
Ingredients
Yogurt
Use whole-fat yogurt for a better flavor and texture. Greek yogurt often has more protein, so that’s what we opted for. Plain yogurt makes for a great base as you can sweeten to your preference, but vanilla yogurt would also work.
Peanut Butter
Opt for creamy salted peanut butter. And check the label for any nasty ingredients! The best varieties will just contain peanuts and salt. You can also try a crunchy peanut butter if you like that added texture.
Matcha
Sifting your matcha before adding it to the mixture will help prevent any clumps. This recipe calls for our chocolate matcha powder, which adds a delicious richness, but regular matcha will work just as well.
Maple Syrup
This adds just the perfect amount of sweetness. Using plain yogurt will make your bark a bit tangier. Feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup based on your own personal preferences. Start slow, as you can always add more.
Chocolate Chips
We used semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can get creative here if you’d like. A mixture of chocolate chips and chocolate chunks would also work well.
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt
½ cup creamy peanut butter
2 tbsp maple syrup
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
2 tsp chocolate matcha powder
Directions:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Mix Greek yogurt with peanut butter, honey, and matcha powder until well combined.
- Spread yogurt mixture evenly onto parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Heat chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl for 60 seconds. Remove and stir until thoroughly melted. If needed, keep microwaving in 30-second intervals until melted. Be sure to mix well in between microwaving.
- Add dollops of melted chocolate on top of yogurt mixture. Using a toothpick or knife, gently swirl chocolate into yogurt.
- Freeze for 4 hours. Cut into desired pieces and enjoy.
