Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (2% fat)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder (33 grams)
- 1 3/4 cups almond flour
Add-ins
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and vanilla whey protein powder until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
- Add Almond Flour: Gradually add the almond flour to the wet ingredients and fold with a spatula until the mixture reaches a cookie dough consistency. The thickness may vary depending on the yogurt’s moisture content, so adjust by adding more almond flour to thicken or a splash of milk to thin as desired.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough. Once combined, the cookie dough is ready to enjoy immediately for a delicious and healthy snack.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt with 2% fat for a creamy texture; nonfat yogurt may yield a thinner dough.
- Adjust almond flour or milk to achieve your preferred dough consistency.
- For a vegan option, substitute whey protein powder with a plant-based protein powder and use dairy-free yogurt.
- Store leftover dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to swap chocolate chips with nuts or dried fruit for variation.
