This Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough recipe offers a healthy, protein-packed twist on a classic treat. Made with creamy Greek yogurt, almond flour, and vanilla protein powder, it’s a quick and easy no-bake snack that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while keeping things nutritious. The addition of chocolate chips adds just the right touch of indulgence without overloading on sugar or fat.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (2% fat)
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder (33 grams)
  • 1 3/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and vanilla whey protein powder. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  2. Add Almond Flour: Gradually add the almond flour to the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula. Stir until the mixture reaches your desired cookie dough consistency. Because Greek yogurt thickness can vary, adjust the texture by adding more almond flour if it’s too wet, or a splash of milk if it’s too thick.
  3. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough. Give the mixture a few gentle stirs to distribute them well.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Your Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough is ready to eat immediately. This no-bake treat can also be refrigerated to firm up slightly before serving, if preferred.

Notes

  • You can use any flavor of whey protein powder if you want to customize the taste.
  • If you prefer a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use a vegan protein powder.
  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup depending on your sweetness preference.
  • This cookie dough is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • For a softer texture, add a little almond milk gradually until the dough reaches desired consistency.
