Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Base
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
Cookie Dough Mix
- 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
- 1/4 cup rolled oats or almond flour
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the yogurt base: In a medium bowl, stir the Greek yogurt until smooth to create a creamy base for the cookie dough cups.
- Mix the protein cookie dough: In a separate bowl, combine the nut butter, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, rolled oats or almond flour, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and form a dough-like consistency.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the protein cookie dough mixture to distribute them evenly without breaking them apart.
- Assemble the cups: Using a spoon, layer the yogurt and protein cookie dough alternately into small serving cups or ramekins, starting with a spoonful of yogurt, followed by a layer of cookie dough. Repeat until cups are filled.
- Chill to set: Place the assembled cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up slightly.
- Serve and enjoy: Once chilled, serve the high protein yogurt cookie dough cups as a nutritious snack or dessert. Optionally, garnish with extra mini chocolate chips or a drizzle of nut butter.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use plant-based Greek-style yogurt and vegan protein powder.
- Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more or less maple syrup or honey.
- Rolled oats add texture, while almond flour provides a smoother consistency—choose based on preference.
- These cups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use mini chocolate chips to prevent sinking; regular chocolate chips can be chopped smaller if needed.
