Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup nut butter (almond or peanut butter)
- 2 tablespoons sweetener (maple syrup or honey)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/3 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
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, nut butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring no lumps remain.
- 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 well incorporated and you have a consistent dough-like texture.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with paper liners to make removal easy and spoon the mixture evenly into each cup, filling them to the top for uniform sizing.
- Freeze: Place the muffin tin in the freezer and freeze for 1 to 2 hours, or until the cookie dough cups are firm to the touch.
- Serve: Remove from the freezer and let the cups sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving to soften slightly for the perfect creamy texture.
Notes
- You can substitute almond flour for rolled oats if you prefer a gluten-free option.
- Use your favorite nut butter for varying flavor profiles.
- Store the cookie dough cups in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month.
- Letting the cups soften slightly helps enhance their creamy, cookie dough-like texture.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less maple syrup or honey.
