Instructions

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup nut butter, 2 tablespoons sweetener, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add 1/4 cup protein powder, 1/4 cup rolled oats or almond flour, 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until the batter is evenly combined, with chocolate chips distributed throughout.
Prepare Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking. This will make it easy to remove the cookie dough cups after freezing.
Portion Mixture: Spoon the cookie dough mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling about 90% full for easy handling once frozen.
Freeze: Place the muffin tin into the freezer and let the cookie dough cups freeze for 1 to 2 hours, or until they become firm and set.
Serve: Before serving, allow the cookie dough cups to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for a creamy texture. Enjoy chilled or slightly softened.

Notes

Use almond or peanut butter based on preference or dietary needs.
You can substitute rolled oats with almond flour for a gluten-free option.
Adjust sweetness by varying maple syrup or honey quantity to taste.
Protein powder flavor can be chosen to complement or contrast with the chocolate chips.
Store leftover cups in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
Allowing the cups to soften briefly before eating enhances flavor and texture.
