Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat) For richer taste
- 1/2 cup natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar)
- 1 large egg (room temp)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or neutral whey) Works best
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Mix-ins
- 1/2 cup mix-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit) Your choice
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt and the natural sweetener. Whisk until smooth and well-integrated.
- Add the large egg and pure vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smoothly combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding gently until no dry flour remains.
- Fold in the desired mix-ins until evenly distributed.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
- Bake the cookies until they are lightly golden around the edges, about 10-12 minutes.
- Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure Greek yogurt is at room temperature. For additional flavor, try vanilla-flavored protein powder. Don’t overmix the dough to keep cookies tender.
