Follow this easy recipe for deliciously creamy, peanut-buttery cups of goodness. They are a sweet and simple way to get a refreshing boost of protein into your diet . The best part is that they can be made in a matter of minutes and kept in the freezer for whenever you fancy them!
I love to DIY these small but mighty treats for a nutritious and delicious snack or dessert right from my freezer. Using a favorite protein powder boosts each one to 10 grams of protein and only 5 grams of sugar.
It’s a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth while fueling your body with better-for-you ingredients. They have lots of yummy peanut butter flavor and a creamy crunchy consistency like some of my favorite candies but are high in protein and low in added sugar for a healthy dessert I feel good about eating.
I try to always have a batch on hand to enjoy as an afternoon pick-me-up or after-dinner treat. The beauty of this recipe is that you can add as much (or as little) sweetener as you like, use different granola or cereal in the base. It’s not really a crust, it kind of mixes in with the yogurt as you spread it into the muffin cups.
You can also use any flavour yogurt that you like to add sweetness and flavour to make it in your way and taste. You can also meal prep them for the week and enjoy frozen or just keep them in the fridge for convenient little yogurt cups (will be yogurt texture in the fridge).
These frozen yogurt cups are exceptionally yummy; kids love them, and adults love them as well. Also, they are easy to make, look no further for the cold treat or ice cream replacement your entire family will love. It is right here!
Frozen Granola Protein Yogurt Cups
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups thick Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
- 1 cup granola of choice, slightly crushed
- 1/2 cup peanut (or any other nut or seed) butter
- 1/2 cup protein or collagen powder
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
Chocolate Topping
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Toppings Optional
- Additional granola
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Line a muffin tin with 12 paper muffin liners. Or use a silicon muffin pan.Add a scant 1tablespoon of granola to each well. Just so it covers the bottom of the well. Mix together Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and protein powder in a bowl. Divide the mixture evenly amongst the muffin wells (using about 3 tablespoons per well), scooping it on top of the granola. Spread out the mixture with the back of a spoon into the granola. Then, gently tap the muffin pan on the counter a couple of times to help the yogurt mixture set into the granola.Place the pan in the freezer to harden slightly, about 30 minutes. Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small microwave-safe dish. Heat for 30 second increments, stirring each time. When it gets close to being melted, reduce to 10 second increments in the microwave. Continue until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.Remove the yogurt cups from the freezer and spoon or drizzle the melted chocolate over top of the cups. If desired, sprinkle any toppings, such as sea salt or additional granola over top so it sticks to the melted chocolate.Place the muffin pan back into the freezer and freeze until the yogurt cups are firm and ready to serve, at least 45 minutes or overnight.To serve from frozen, let cups sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes to soften slightly.Store any leftover muffin cups in the freezer.
