Overview of Recipe Content

They’re a cross between edible cookie dough and a protein-packed dessert cup. Think of them as your new go-to when cravings strike — a healthier alternative that still feels indulgent.

Why You’ll Love Them

  • High in protein, low in guilt: Thanks to Greek yogurt and oat flour.
  • Ready in 20 minutes: No baking required!
  • Perfect make-ahead snack or dessert: Just store in the fridge or freezer.
  • Customizable: Add chocolate chips, sea salt, or even a drizzle of caramel.

What They Taste Like

Sweet peanut butter meets creamy tangy yogurt — all topped with rich, silky chocolate. It’s like eating a Reese’s cup, but creamier and lighter!

Ingredients

You’ll need:

  • ½ cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla for extra sweetness)
  • 1 cup oat flour (you can blend rolled oats yourself)
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (for melting chocolate)

Tools You’ll Need

  • Muffin tin or silicone muffin cups
  • Mixing bowls
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spoon or small spatula

Suggested Substitutions & Additions

  • Swap peanut butter for almond butter or cashew butter.
  • Add a sprinkle of sea salt flakes on top for that gourmet finish.
  • Use honey or agave syrup instead of maple syrup.
  • Mix in protein powder or chopped nuts for extra texture.
  1. Mix the Base:
    In a medium bowl, combine oat flour, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until a soft dough forms — it should be smooth and pliable.
  2. Form the Cups:
    Line a muffin tin with liners and scoop about a tablespoon of dough into each. Flatten slightly to create a base.
  3. Prepare the Chocolate Topping:
    Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together (microwave for 30 seconds or use a double boiler). Stir until glossy and smooth.
  4. Top & Chill:
    Spoon melted chocolate over each dough cup until covered. Tap gently to smooth the surface.
  5. Chill:
    Refrigerate for 30–40 minutes or until the chocolate is firm and shiny.
  6. Serve & Enjoy:
    Pop them out, let sit for 5 minutes, and enjoy that perfect, crackly top over creamy, doughy goodness!

These pair beautifully with:

  • A hot latte or cappuccino
  • Vanilla protein shake for an extra post-workout treat
  • Fresh berries for a pop of color and flavor

Tips for Making It Perfect

  • Use room-temperature peanut butter for easier mixing.
  • Don’t skip the coconut oil — it gives the chocolate that glossy snap.
  • For firmer cups, chill overnight or freeze for 20 minutes before serving.
  • Add crunch! Sprinkle granola or cacao nibs before chilling.

Storage Instructions

  • Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze: Layer between parchment and freeze up to 2 months.
  • Thaw: Let sit at room temp for 10 minutes before serving.
