Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat for best texture)
- ½ cup almond flour or oat flour (for structure)
- 2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter (smooth and natural)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips (or sugar-free chocolate chips)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional, for extra protein)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for added flavor)
- 1 pinch of sea salt (enhances overall taste)
Optional Mix-Ins:
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (for a chocolate version)
- ¼ cup rolled oats (for an oatmeal variation)
- 1 tbsp shredded coconut (for a tropical twist)
- 1 tbsp chia or flaxseeds (for extra fiber)
- ½ tsp cinnamon (for warmth and depth)
Instructions
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter (or almond butter), honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
- Add the dry ingredients: Gradually fold in the almond flour (or oat flour), protein powder (if using), and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well until the mixture has a thick and dough-like consistency.
- Incorporate the chocolate chips and mix-ins: Gently stir in the dark chocolate chips and any additional mix-ins like oats, shredded coconut, or cocoa powder for a flavored variation.
- Adjust texture if needed: If the dough is too thick, add a small splash of milk or extra Greek yogurt. If it’s too runny, add a little more almond flour.
- Chill for better consistency: For a firmer texture, cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes before serving.
- Serve and enjoy: Scoop out spoonfuls of the cookie dough and enjoy immediately, or shape into small bites for easy snacking.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version: Use coconut or almond yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
- For a vegan option: Swap honey for maple syrup and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
- For added crunch: Mix in crushed nuts, granola, or seeds.
- Storage tips: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Best way to serve: Eat it straight from the bowl, spread it on toast, or use as a dip for fruit.
