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
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Add-ins
- 2–3 tbsp mini chocolate chips
- Crushed nuts (optional)
- Shredded coconut (optional)
- Cinnamon (optional)
- Protein powder (optional, for an extra boost)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
