Ingredients
Scale
Base Mixture
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (or almond butter)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients & Mix-ins
- 3 tablespoons oat flour (or blended oats)
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all the wet ingredients are fully combined.
- Incorporate Oat Flour: Gradually stir in the oat flour until it is fully incorporated, forming a thick, dough-like consistency that holds together well.
- Add Mix-ins: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and sprinkles (if using) to evenly distribute them throughout the dough without breaking them up.
- Chill & Serve: For a firmer, scoopable texture, refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes. This chills and slightly sets the dough, improving its texture for serving.
- Enjoy: Serve the cookie dough straight from the spoon as a creamy treat or scoop into bowls for a fun snack or dessert.
Notes
- Use oat flour or blended oats for a gluten-free option, but ensure the oats are certified gluten-free if gluten sensitivity is a concern.
- Substitute peanut butter with almond butter or any other nut/seed butter to suit taste preferences or allergies.
- The recipe can be made vegan by using maple syrup instead of honey and ensuring the yogurt is a plant-based variety.
- Add chopped nuts or seeds for extra texture if desired.
- Consume within 2 days for best freshness and texture, storing refrigerated.
