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
- 1/3 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 creamy, ensuring the nut butter is fully incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add protein powder, rolled oats or almond flour, mini chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking. Evenly spoon the cookie dough mixture into each cup, filling them generously but leaving a small gap at the top for slight expansion.
- Freeze: Place the muffin tin in the freezer and freeze for 1 to 2 hours, or until the cookie dough cups are firm and set.
- Serve: When ready to serve, remove the cookie dough cups from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for the best texture.
Notes
- You can substitute rolled oats with almond flour to make it gluten-free.
- Choose your protein powder flavor to complement or contrast with the chocolate chips.
- For a nut-free option, try using sunflower seed butter instead of nut butter.
- These cookie dough cups can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.
- Letting them soften slightly before eating enhances their creamy texture.
