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

  1. Mix wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, nut butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  2. Add dry ingredients: Incorporate the protein powder, rolled oats or almond flour, mini chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined to form a thick dough-like consistency.
  3. Prepare muffin tin: Line a standard muffin tin with liners to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the cookie dough cups.
  4. Fill muffin cups: Spoon the mixture evenly into each muffin liner, pressing down lightly to compact the dough and ensure even portions.
  5. Freeze until firm: Place the muffin tin in the freezer and let the cookie dough cups freeze for 1 to 2 hours, or until they become firm and hold their shape.
  6. Serve: Remove the cups from the freezer, let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly, then enjoy as a high-protein, guilt-free snack.

Notes

  • Can substitute nut butter types depending on preference or allergies (e.g., sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version).
  • Protein powder flavor can be adjusted to complement the overall taste (vanilla works best for classic, chocolate for a richer flavor).
  • Use rolled oats for added texture or almond flour for a smoother consistency.
  • Store the cookie dough cups in the freezer in an airtight container for up to one week.
  • Letting the cups sit a few minutes after freezing softens them for a better texture.
