Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup nut butter (almond or peanut butter)
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener (maple syrup or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla, chocolate, or unflavored)
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats or almond flour
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup of nut butter (almond or peanut butter), 2 tablespoons of sweetener (maple syrup or honey), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it becomes smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Next, add 1/2 cup of protein powder (choose from vanilla, chocolate, or unflavored), 1/4 cup of rolled oats or almond flour, 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Mix everything together until the ingredients are well incorporated into a thick cookie dough consistency.
  3. Prepare Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and make serving easier. Using a spoon, evenly divide the cookie dough mixture into each muffin cup, filling them to the top.
  4. Freeze: Place the muffin tin in the freezer and freeze the cookie dough cups for 1 to 2 hours or until they are firm enough to hold their shape.
  5. Serve: Remove the cups from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly before enjoying. This will enhance the creamy texture while still keeping that cookie dough feel.

Notes

  • You can swap rolled oats for almond flour to make these gluten-free.
  • Use your preferred nut butter for different flavor profiles.
  • These cups can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
  • For a vegan version, choose plant-based yogurt and protein powder, and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • If you prefer sweeter cups, increase the sweetener slightly to taste.
