Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour (or oat flour for a nut-free option)
- 3 tablespoons almond butter (or peanut butter, if preferred)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (for natural sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (adds warmth and depth)
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (use a dairy-free option if needed)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the cookie dough layer: In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick, smooth dough forms. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Mold the cookie dough base: Divide the mixture evenly among the silicone muffin cups or paper liners, pressing it down firmly to create a flat base. Place the cups in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
- Mix the yogurt layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Layer the yogurt on top: Spoon or pipe the yogurt mixture onto the chilled cookie dough bases. Smooth out the top with a spatula or spoon for a clean finish.
- Chill and set: Place the cups back in the freezer for at least 30 minutes or until firm. You can also refrigerate them if you prefer a softer texture.
- Serve: Remove the cups from the silicone molds or liners and enjoy straight from the fridge or freezer!
Notes
[‘If the cookie dough feels too crumbly, add a splash of milk (dairy or non-dairy) to bring it together.’, ‘Make sure your almond butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.’, ‘Taste as you go to avoid over-sweetening the yogurt layer.’, ‘Chill the cookie dough base first to ensure clean layers.’, ‘Use high-quality chocolate chips for better flavor.’]
