Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for creaminess)
  • 1/4 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
  • 12 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Add-ins

  • 23 tbsp mini chocolate chips
  • Crushed nuts (optional)
  • Shredded coconut (optional)
  • Cinnamon (optional)
  • Protein powder (optional, for an extra boost)

Instructions

  1. Mix It Up: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond flour, peanut or almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture resembles thick, creamy cookie dough.
  2. Add the Goodies: Fold in the mini chocolate chips and any additional add-ins like crushed nuts, shredded coconut, cinnamon, or protein powder to your liking.
  3. Chill It Down: Place the bowl in the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm up the dough. This step makes it easier to handle and scoop the dough into bites.
  4. Roll ‘Em: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out small amounts of dough and roll them between your hands to form bite-sized balls. Arrange the bites on a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Snack Time: Store the cookie dough bites in the refrigerator or freezer. Keep them chilled for grab-and-go snacking whenever you want a tasty, protein-rich treat.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best texture and creaminess.
  • Adjust maple syrup quantity to control sweetness.
  • Almond flour can be substituted with oat flour for a different flavor.
  • Store bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
  • For added protein, mix in a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
  • Feel free to customize add-ins according to your dietary preferences or availability.
