Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats or almond flour
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1–2 tablespoons sweetener (honey or maple syrup)
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

1–2 tablespoons nut butter
1–2 tablespoons milk
3/4 cup Greek yogurt
Optional: additional mini chocolate chips or nut butter for topping

Instructions

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, mix together the rolled oats or almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and your choice of sweetener until well combined.
Form Cookie Dough: Stir in the nut butter and milk gradually until a soft, dough-like consistency forms. Then gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
Shape the Base: Press the cookie dough evenly into silicone muffin cups or paper liners, forming a solid base layer in each cup for the cookie dough cups.
Prepare Yogurt Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt with a small scoop of vanilla protein powder until smooth and creamy. Sweeten further to taste if desired.
Assemble Cups: Spoon the protein-enhanced Greek yogurt mixture over the cookie dough bases in each cup. Top with extra mini chocolate chips or a drizzle of nut butter for added flavor and texture.
Chill to Set: Place the assembled cookie dough cups in the refrigerator and chill for 1-2 hours, or for a quicker set, freeze them for 20-30 minutes before serving.

Notes

You can substitute rolled oats with almond flour for a gluten-free option.
Adjust sweetness according to your preference using honey or maple syrup.
Use any type of nut butter you prefer, such as almond, peanut, or cashew butter.
For a thicker yogurt topping, add more protein powder gradually.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
