Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (use full-fat for creaminess)
  • 1/4 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
  • 12 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Add-ins

  • 23 tbsp mini chocolate chips
  • Crushed nuts (optional)
  • Shredded coconut (optional)
  • Cinnamon (optional)
  • Protein powder (optional, for an extra boost)

Instructions

  1. Mix It Up: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, almond flour, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together until the mixture resembles a thick, creamy cookie dough.
  2. Add the Goodies: Fold in the mini chocolate chips along with any optional add-ins like crushed nuts, shredded coconut, cinnamon, or protein powder if using. Mix until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  3. 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 into balls.
  4. Roll ‘Em: Using a spoon or small scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into bite-sized balls with your hands. Arrange the balls on a tray lined with parchment paper.
  5. Snack Time: Store the cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. Enjoy these easy, grab-and-go treats whenever a sweet craving hits!

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture, but low-fat works if preferred.
  • Adjust the maple syrup to control sweetness according to your taste.
  • Feel free to swap almond flour for oat flour for a different texture.
  • Add protein powder to increase protein content, making it more satiating.
  • Store cookie dough bites in the freezer for longer shelf life, or fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Perfect for a quick energy boost or healthy dessert alternative.
