Ingredients

  • 6 medium/large jalapeño peppers
  • 4 oz. cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 6 strips thick-cut bacon halved
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉.
  • Cut each jalapeno in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and white pith pieces. Set aside. We recommend wearing gloves, if you have them as sometimes jalapeños can be super spicy.

Notes

  • Make these spicier by not removing all of the seeds and white pith.
  • Skip the sweetness by skipping the maple syrup.
  • These can be assembled a day ahead and baked before serving.
