Scale
Base Layer
- 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
Yogurt Topping
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 small scoop vanilla protein powder
- Optional: extra chocolate chips or a drizzle of nut butter for topping
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the rolled oats or almond flour with the vanilla protein powder and sweetener. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Form Cookie Dough: Add nut butter and milk to the dry mixture, stirring until a soft cookie dough forms. Then gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Shape Base Layer: Press the cookie dough firmly into silicone muffin cups or paper liners to create the base of each cup, making sure the layer is even.
- Prepare Yogurt Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt together with a small scoop of vanilla protein powder until smooth. Sweeten to taste if desired.
- Assemble Cups: Spoon the yogurt mixture over each cookie dough base and top with extra mini chocolate chips or a drizzle of nut butter for added flavor and decoration.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the assembled cups for 1-2 hours or freeze for 20-30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving.
Notes

- The sweetness can be adjusted with honey or maple syrup according to taste preferences.
- Protein powder is key for adding nutrition and flavor; vanilla works best for this recipe.
- Chilling fully is important to get the cookie dough cups to set properly.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
