Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats or almond flour
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (honey or maple syrup)
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1–2 tablespoons nut butter
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the rolled oats or almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and your choice of sweetener thoroughly to create the base dry mixture.
  2. Add Nut Butter and Milk: Stir in the nut butter and milk gradually until a soft cookie dough forms. Ensure the mixture is well blended but maintains a soft, workable consistency. Then, fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  3. Shape Dough Bases: Press the cookie dough mixture firmly into silicone muffin cups or paper liners to form the base layer of each cup. Make sure the bases are compacted well to hold together.
  4. Prepare Yogurt Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt with a small additional scoop of protein powder until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Sweeten to taste to balance flavors.
  5. Assemble Cups: Spoon the yogurt mixture evenly over each cookie dough base in the muffin cups. Garnish the tops with extra mini chocolate chips or a drizzle of nut butter for added texture and flavor.
  6. Chill: Place the assembled cookie dough cups in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours to set properly. For a quicker set, freeze for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute rolled oats with almond flour to make the recipe gluten free.
  • Adjust the amount of sweetener and nut butter based on your desired sweetness and richness.
  • Use non-dairy milk as a substitute for regular milk to make it dairy-free friendly.
  • The protein powder choice may alter texture and flavor, so choose your favorite variety accordingly.
  • For an extra crunch, add chopped nuts to the dough mixture.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
