Ingredients
- 1⅓ cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 10 tablespoons melted unsalted butter more if the mixture seems dry
- 2 cups Greek yogurt full fat, plain
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 10 tablespoons peanut butter natural (½ cup + 2 tablespoons)
- 1½ cup chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter and stir until well combined.
- In a silicone muffin mould, scoop the graham crack mixture into each mould (approximately 1½ tablespoons per mould) and use the back of a spoon to press the mixture down into the mould to create a crust. Transfer to the freezer while you work on the next steps.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and peanut butter. Taste to see if you’d like additional maple syrup or peanut butter.
- Take out the muffin moulds with the graham cracker crusts and fill them almost to the top with the Greek yogurt mixture (approximately 1½ to 2 tablespoons per mould). Tap the silicone mould on a counter to get rid of all air pockets in the mixture and to create a more even top.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave on high in 20-second increments, stirring in between until the chocolate is fully melted.
- Spoon the melted chocolate over the top of the Greek yogurt peanut butter mixture. Transfer the muffin molds to the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before enjoying.
