Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough

  • 3/4 cup oat flour <toss oats in a blender to make your own>
  • 1/4 cup almond flour or meal
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil <or melted butter>
  • 1 Tbsp milk <any kind>
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp chocolate chips <mini, if you've got them>

Greek Yogurt Mixture

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt <I used plain, full fat>
  • 1 cup milk <I used skim>
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 oz chopped chocolate, optional

Instructions
 

  • To make the cookie dough, in a small mixing bowl - combine all the ingredients and stir well. You may want to save the chocolate chips and add them right at the end, but do what you want. Set aside. <You can make this ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator until you need it.>
  • In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients expect the chopped chocolate. Whisk very well. Keep whisking until the honey and sugar are dissolved. Toss in some chopped chocolate and whisk again. <The finer you chop the chocolate the better is disperses in the liquid. Big pieces will just fall to the bottle. Think almost shaving it when you chop it.>
  • Grab your popsicle molds. Pour a tiny bit of the Greek yogurt liquid in the bottom of the mold. Drop two small pieces of cookie dough in. Pour 1/2 inch more liquid. Drop 2 pieces of cookie dough and repeat until filled almost to the top of the mold. Repeat for each mold. <Note: you will NOT use all the cookie dough. I used half. But, who's complaining about leftover edible cookie dough in the fridge?!>
  • Freeze for at least 5 hours or until hardened.

Notes

Other Thoughts
  • These can absolutely be made dairy free with nondairy milk and yogurt. 
  • If you use vanilla flavored yogurt, you can scale back on the amount of sugar you add. 
  • I recommend using full fat Greek yogurt to decrease the tartness and make them more creamy. 
  • Use any container you have to freeze - your kids dino molds, the plastic popsicle 'flavor ice' sleeves, small paper cups you peel away + popsicle stick, or get on amazon and buy yourself a $13 popsicle mold! 
 
How-to-Use
Athletes: These sound like a solid post workout recovery snack - once it's not the dead of winter! <I posted this in February in the middle of a snow storm. Even Texas got snow!> But seriously, protein + carbs is key to recovery and these have both! But make sure to get to that meal asap after a shower. 
Healthy Eating: A sweet something after dinner is not something we need to ignore. If a little something sweet post dinner is what you need?! Give these guys a whirl! <Because if we ignore that craving for too long, what happens?! We may end up face down in a gallon of ice cream feeling ill.>
Kids: My 5 year old proclaimed 'these are the best popsicles I've ever eaten!' I was shocked. I thought for sure this fruit loving kid would revolt that they were white instead of colorful like the fruit pops we normally make. I hope your kids, too, think these are the best things ever.
