Prep Time 13 minutes

Cuisine American

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup granola slightly crushed
  • cups plain or vanilla whole milk Greek yogurt
  • cup natural peanut butter
  • ¾ cup vanilla protein powder about 68–70 grams
  • cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt optional
  • Extra granola for topping optional

Instructions
 

  • Add about 1 tablespoon of crushed granola to the bottom of each cavity in a silicone muffin pan, creating an even layer.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and vanilla protein powder until the mixture is thick and smooth.
  • Spoon approximately 3 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture into each muffin cavity over the granola layer.
  • Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the filling into an even layer. Lightly tap the muffin pan on the countertop a few times to help the mixture settle.
  • Place the pan in the freezer for about 30 minutes so the filling can firm up slightly.
  • While the cups are chilling, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval. Once nearly melted, continue heating in 10-second intervals until smooth.
  • Remove the muffin pan from the freezer and spoon or drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over each yogurt cup.
  • If desired, sprinkle flaky sea salt or extra granola over the chocolate before it hardens.
  • Return the pan to the freezer and freeze for at least 45 minutes or overnight until the Frozen Yogurt Peanut Butter Cups are completely firm.
  • Before serving, let the cups rest at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes so they soften slightly and develop their best creamy texture.

Notes

For a sweeter dessert, use vanilla Greek yogurt instead of plain. If you're omitting the protein powder, slightly reduce the amount of yogurt to maintain a thick filling. Almond butter or cashew butter can easily replace peanut butter for a different flavor. A sprinkle of cinnamon or chopped roasted peanuts makes a delicious finishing touch.
