Ingredients:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- ¼ cup almond butter or peanut butter
- ⅓ cup almond flour or oat flour
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs
Instructions:
- Prepare the Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add Greek yogurt and almond butter. Stir them together until well combined and smooth.
- Add Sweetener and Flavor: Pour in honey or maple syrup along with vanilla extract. Mix well to distribute the sweetness evenly.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add almond flour and salt to the mixture, stirring continuously to ensure there are no lumps. This step helps create a dough-like texture.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the dough.
- Adjust Consistency: If the dough feels too thin, add a little more almond flour to thicken it. If it’s too thick, a splash of milk or an extra spoon of Greek yogurt can help loosen it.
- Chill (Optional): For a firmer texture, place the cookie dough in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
- Serve and Enjoy: Scoop out portions and enjoy as-is or use it as a dip with sliced apples, strawberries, or whole-grain crackers.
