Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough Base
- 1/2 cup rolled oats or almond flour
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (honey or maple syrup)
- 1–2 tablespoons nut butter
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Topping
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 small scoop vanilla protein powder (about 1/4 scoop)
- Extra mini chocolate chips or nut butter for topping
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats or almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and sweetener. Stir to evenly distribute all dry ingredients.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in the nut butter and milk gradually until a soft cookie dough forms that holds together but is not too sticky. Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently.
- Form the base: Press the cookie dough evenly into silicone muffin cups or paper liners, creating a uniform base layer for the 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 to taste if desired.
- Assemble the cups: Spoon the protein-enhanced Greek yogurt over each cookie dough base. Add extra mini chocolate chips or a drizzle of nut butter on top for garnish.
- Chill and set: Place the assembled cups in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to firm up or freeze for 20-30 minutes to expedite setting before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute rolled oats with almond flour for a gluten-free option.
- Adjust sweetener amount to taste, depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- If the dough is too dry, add milk 1 teaspoon at a time until the right consistency is reached.
- These cups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
- Use silicone muffin cups for easy removal without sticking.
- Feel free to use any nut butter such as almond, peanut, or cashew for different flavors.
