Description

These Easy Protein Cookie Dough Cups with Greek Yogurt are a delicious and healthy snack combining a protein-rich cookie dough base with a creamy, sweetened Greek yogurt topping. Perfect for fitness enthusiasts or anyone looking for a satisfying, nutritious treat that’s quick to prepare and requires no baking.

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

Greek Yogurt Topping

  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 small scoop vanilla protein powder
  • Sweetener to taste (optional)
  • Extra mini chocolate chips or drizzle of nut butter for topping

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a bowl, mix the rolled oats or almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and sweetener until well combined.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Stir in the nut butter and milk, mixing until a soft cookie dough forms. Then gently fold in the mini chocolate chips for texture and flavor.
  3. Prepare the cookie dough base: Press the dough evenly into silicone muffin cups or paper liners to form the base layer for each cup.
  4. Make the yogurt topping: In a separate bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt with a small scoop of vanilla protein powder until smooth. Sweeten to taste with additional sweetener if desired.
  5. Assemble the cups: Spoon the protein-enriched yogurt mixture over each cookie dough base, then top with extra mini chocolate chips or a drizzle of nut butter for extra flavor and appeal.
  6. Chill and set: Place the cups in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or freeze for 20-30 minutes until firm before serving. This chilling step helps the flavors meld and the texture to set perfectly.

Notes

  • You can substitute rolled oats with almond flour for a gluten-free option.
  • Adjust the amount of sweetener and nut butter depending on your taste preferences and dietary needs.
  • Use silicone muffin cups or paper liners to make removal easy after chilling.
  • The protein powder in the topping enhances the protein content and adds extra flavor to the yogurt.
  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use a vegan protein powder.
