Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (2% fat preferred)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder (33 grams)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and vanilla whey protein powder. Whisk all these components together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Add Almond Flour: Gradually add almond flour to the wet mixture. Use a spatula to fold and mix until the dough reaches your desired consistency. Since Greek yogurt texture can vary, you may need to adjust the dough by adding more almond flour for thickness or a splash of milk to loosen it.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough for bursts of sweetness in every bite. Once combined, your Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough is ready to enjoy immediately.
Notes
- This recipe requires no baking and can be eaten immediately as a healthy snack.
- Adjust the almond flour quantity if your dough is too sticky or too dry for your preference.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use a vegan protein powder.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Add-ins like nuts, dried fruit, or seeds can be incorporated for extra texture and nutrition.
