Frozen Yogurt Peanut Butter Cups Recipe

I love to DIY these high-protein peanut butter cups for a nutritious and delicious treat right from my freezer. Using a favorite protein powder boosts each one to 10 grams of protein and only 5 grams of sugar. 

Prep: 15 minsTotal: 15 mins + 2 hours freeze time
Servings: 12 cups 1x

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a silicone muffin pan add a scant 1 tablespoon of granola to each well. Just so it covers the bottom of the well. 
  2. Mix together greek yogurt, peanut butter, and protein powder in a bowl. 
  3. 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.
  4. Place the pan in the freezer to harden slightly, about 30 minutes. 
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. To serve from frozen, let cups sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes to soften slightly.
  9. Store any leftover muffin cups in the freezer.

Make It Dairy-Free: I use plain Greek yogurt for this recipe, but you can use your favorite plain or vanilla plant-based Greek yogurt if you need to keep your yogurt cups dairy-free. Make sure to use dairy-free milk chocolate chocolate chips as well, and a plant-based protein powder. 

Make It Peanut-Free: Feel free to use cashew butter, almond butter, sunflower butter, tahini, or any nut or seed butter you like best in place of the creamy peanut butter to keep this recipe peanut-free.
