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.
