Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup nut butter (almond or peanut butter)
- 1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla, chocolate, or unflavored)
- 2 tablespoons sweetener (maple syrup or honey)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup rolled oats or almond flour
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the base mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, nut butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully integrated.
- Add dry ingredients and mix: Add protein powder, rolled oats or almond flour, mini chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all components are well incorporated and the dough resembles a cookie dough consistency.
- Portion into muffin tins: Line a muffin tin with paper liners for easy removal. Spoon the cookie dough mixture evenly into each cup, filling them to the top.
- Freeze to set: Place the muffin tin in the freezer and allow the cookie dough cups to freeze for 1 to 2 hours, or until firm and set.
- Serve: Remove from the freezer and let the cups sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving to soften slightly for an enjoyable texture.
Notes
- You can customize these cups by using your preferred protein powder flavor or nut butter.
- Using almond flour instead of oats makes the recipe gluten-free.
- For a sweeter taste, adjust the amount of sweetener to your preference.
- Store leftover cookie dough cups in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Letting the cups sit a few minutes after removing from the freezer improves the texture for easier eating.
