Description

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 tbsp sweetener (maple syrup or honey)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 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 Greek yogurt, nut butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add dry ingredients: Incorporate protein powder, rolled oats or almond flour, mini chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt into the wet mixture. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly combined.
  3. Prepare muffin tin: Line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  4. Fill and freeze: Spoon the mixture evenly into each muffin cup. Place the tin in the freezer and freeze for 1–2 hours or until the cups are firm and set.
  5. Serve: Remove the cookie dough cups from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt for a thicker texture and higher protein content.
  • Choose almond or peanut butter according to your preference; natural nut butters with no added sugar are best.
  • Rolled oats provide a chewy texture, while almond flour makes the cups denser and gluten-free.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey to taste.
  • Store leftover cookie dough cups in the freezer for up to one week.
  • Letting the cups soften slightly before eating enhances the cookie dough-like experience.
