Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough (Printable version)

A creamy, protein-rich no-bake treat with classic cookie dough flavor, quick and easy to prepare.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or 2%
02 - 2 tablespoons nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
03 - 2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Dry

05 - ¾ cup oat flour (finely blended rolled oats)
06 - Pinch of salt

→ Mix-Ins

07 - 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

→ Optional Add-Ins

08 - 1 tablespoon crushed nuts or seeds
09 - 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
10 - Dash of cinnamon

# Directions:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, nut butter, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
02 - Add the oat flour and salt. Stir until a soft, cookie-dough-like texture forms.
03 - Fold in the mini chocolate chips and any optional add-ins such as crushed nuts, coconut, or cinnamon.
04 - For a thicker, scoopable texture, refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes before serving. Otherwise, enjoy immediately by the spoonful.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It actually tastes like cookie dough, but the protein keeps you satisfied instead of crashing.
  • No mixing, no baking, no heating up the kitchen—just stir and eat within the time it takes to put on socks.
  • You can make it as indulgent or clean as your mood demands by adjusting sweetness and mix-ins.
02 -
  • Greek yogurt temperature matters—if it's cold straight from the fridge, everything else stays thick and creamy, but room-temperature yogurt makes the whole thing looser.
  • Don't skip the salt pinch; it sounds like a tiny thing, but it's what stops this from tasting like sweet paste and makes it taste like something you actually want to eat.
03 -
  • Use the thickest Greek yogurt you can find—it's the difference between a treat and something that feels like you're eating pudding.
  • Blend your own oat flour instead of buying it if you have a food processor, because the texture is somehow always better and fresher-tasting.
