Ingredients
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
- 1/2 cup rolled oats or almond flour
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, nut butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
- Add dry ingredients: Add protein powder, rolled oats or almond flour, mini chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Prepare muffin tin: Line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and make removal easy.
- Fill cups and freeze: Spoon the cookie dough mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling them to the top. Place the muffin tin in the freezer and freeze for 1 to 2 hours or until the cups are firm.
- Serve: Remove the frozen cookie dough cups from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can swap rolled oats for almond flour for a gluten-free option.
- Choose your preferred nut butter: almond or peanut butter both work well.
- Protein powder flavor can be adjusted to suit your taste preferences.
- Keep frozen cookie dough cups stored in the freezer in an airtight container for up to one week.
- Letting the cups soften slightly improves the texture and flavor experience.
