Ingredients

1 cup plain Greek yogurt full-fat or 2% for best texture
1/2 cup rolled oats finely ground into oat flour (use a food processor or blender)
1/4 cup protein powder vanilla or unflavored recommended
2 tablespoons natural peanut butter or almond butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey adjust to your sweetness preference

Optional toppings

Equipment

Food processor or blender
Medium Mixing Bowl
Mini muffin tin
Paper liners

Method

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and peanut butter. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated. This creates the creamy base for your cookie dough cups.
1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter or almond butter
Add the ground oat flour, protein powder, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl. Mix everything together thoroughly until a thick, dough-like consistency is achieved. It should be firm enough to hold its shape.
1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup protein powder, 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon salt
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the dough too sticky and can melt the chocolate chips.
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
Spoon the cookie dough mixture evenly into each liner, pressing down gently with the back of a spoon to form compact cups. Aim for about 2 tablespoons of dough per cup.
If desired, press a few extra mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts onto the top of each cup for added flavor and visual appeal.
Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until the cups are firm and set. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to solidify.
