Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup rolled oats or almond flour
  • 1 scoop vanilla-flavored or your choice protein powder
  • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 –2 tablespoons nut butter e.g. almond or peanut butter
  • 1 –2 tablespoons sweetener e.g. honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips plus extra for topping
  • 1 –2 tablespoons milk dairy or plant-based, as needed for consistency

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix the oats (or almond flour), protein powder, and chosen sweetener.
  2. Add the nut butter and milk; stir until you get a soft cookie-dough consistency. Then fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  3. Evenly press this dough into silicone muffin cups or paper liners — this will be the base.
  4. In another bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt (optionally add a small scoop of protein powder if you like) until smooth, sweetening to taste.
  5. Spoon the yogurt mixture over each cookie-dough base. Optionally, top with more chocolate chips or a drizzle of nut butter.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours or freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
  7. Once set, remove from molds and enjoy chilled.
