Easy Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Protein Pudding
Greek yogurt makes everything better including these overnight oats.
I’ve been seeing an influx of sweet cottage cheese recipes and just don’t see the correlation. The flavors don’t work for me. I think Greek yogurt is definitely always the way to go and its got basically the same amount of protein.
All the ingredients are very basic. You can use peanut butter or almond butter. You can use maple syrup or honey for the sweetener. Next time I want to try a banana added in too.
If you don’t want to make the hard chocolate shell on top, you can simply mix in some mini chocolate chips, blueberries or dried fruit!

Yum. I made this last night and it is so good. Thank you for the recipe!
HI Kelly, Thank you for trying the recipe – glad it was enjoyed!!
What is the serving size? I am looking for “dense calorie” treats for someone who is struggling with getting enough fuel but can’t bear to eat large quantities.
Hi Stella,
Love your recipes! I was wondering if you thought adding protein powder would mess up the consistency here? Was just trying to get a little more protein in for breakfast 🙂
Thanks so much!
Hi Kayla, thanks so much for trying the recipes! I’m not sure if that would be the best but IF i had to guess, I think it would work with some protein powder, keeping with the consistency! Sorry for the late reply! And I hope it works out!
I have a new tasty addiction! My husband and I loved it. I added the banana as well and had it with dry mixed Raisins. Please confirm is the nutrition per serving or for all 8 servings?
Hi Jenny, that sounds so delicious! Glad you guys enjoyed the pudding! Nutritional info is per serving, not for the entire batch.
So I tried this and it’s hard as a rock? Why is your’s so soft and scoopable? I can even push the spoon in
Hi Jason, yes my shell was hard too. Just give it 10 minutes on the counter and then crack it with a spoon or knife
Looks great 👍 and I’ll try it
You’re missing out not using cottage cheese though
Hi Lars, I hope you do try it! And I appreciate your advice too – Maybe i’ll reconsider it!
So excited to try this for family coming in from Florida. Can I use SF syrup for maple syrup? Thanks so much
Hi Sirrell, that should work I believe! I don’t have much experience with sugar free maple syrup. I have used SF sugar and that is really sweet. Put a little in the blender and try the mixture before adding too much in. In this recipe, you can taste it and add as you go! Hope this helps! Cheers!
Anyway I made the pudding part last night using SF Syrup. It took a good while of using my food processor to break up the oats..Is that normal? Haven’t tried it yet but I did put one containter in the freezer lol..See if its more like ice cream..
PS.. Going to make the chocolate part today..Hope I love this thanks for your help and recipe xox
looks and sounds delicious. Im definitely going to give it a try. BTW..where did you get those glass containers?
Hi Jill, thanks so much! The containers are recommend are linked at the top of the recipe box. The containers I used were a little too big for this recipe (in my opinion) but I will include the link below.. they are all the same brand and awesome containers:
