Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (plus more as needed)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
  • 3-4 tbsp oat flour (or almond flour)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp mix-ins of choice (chocolate chips, M&Ms, oats, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, plain Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: To the same bowl, stir in the vanilla protein powder, oat flour, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until a dough-like consistency forms.
  3. Incorporate Mix-ins and Chill: Fold in your chosen mix-ins, such as chocolate chips or oats. Place the mixture in the freezer for about 5 minutes to chill and firm up slightly. If the consistency is still too thin, add oat flour one teaspoon at a time until you reach the desired thickness. Enjoy immediately or keep chilled for later.

Notes

  • You can substitute oat flour with almond flour for a slightly different texture and flavor.
  • If the dough becomes too firm after chilling, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to preference.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free if using certified gluten-free flours and mix-ins.
