Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

  • Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper or silicone liners.
  • Make sure all refrigerated ingredients are at room temperature.

Step 2: Make the Crust

  • In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, honey, and protein powder until it forms a wet sand texture.

  • Press down firmly and chill in the fridge while making the filling.

Step 3: Prepare the Filling

  • Beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth (about 2 minutes).
  • Add peanut butter, then mix until creamy.
  • Add Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey, vanilla, and salt. Mix until smooth.

Step 4: Assemble & Chill

  • Scoop the filling into the prepared crusts, smoothing the tops.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or freeze for 1-2 hours).

Step 5: Add Toppings & Serve

  • Drizzle melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
  • Garnish with fresh berries, if desired.
