Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Mix Base Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond flour, protein powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture without breaking them.
  3. Portion Mixture: Spoon the prepared mixture into cupcake liners or small cups, ensuring each cup is filled evenly for uniform size and texture.
  4. Freeze: Place the filled cups in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours, allowing them to firm up to a cookie dough-like consistency.
  5. Serve: Enjoy the cookie dough cups straight from the freezer for a refreshing, protein-packed snack.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
  • Use sugar-free chocolate chips to reduce sugar content if desired.
  • Store leftovers in the freezer to maintain firmness and freshness.
  • These cups can be a great pre- or post-workout snack due to their high protein content.
