Ingredients

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
