Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 180 grams Greek yogurt
- 15 grams whey protein powder (vanilla, cookie dough, or unflavored)
- 20 grams creamy peanut butter
Fat and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon chocolate chips
Sweeteners:
- Sweetener of choice, adjusted to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and a medium mixing bowl to prepare the no-bake yogurt-based cookie dough.
- In the bowl, whisk together smooth Greek yogurt with protein powder until the mixture becomes uniformly blended and creamy.
- Incorporate room temperature peanut butter, stirring vigorously to create a consistent texture without lumps.
- Select your preferred sweetener, such as honey, maple syrup, or stevia, and gently fold into the mixture until evenly distributed.
- Gradually introduce milk (whole or almond milk work well), adding at a time and stirring thoroughly to achieve a soft, scoopable consistency.
- Sprinkle in semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, gently folding them throughout the dough to ensure even distribution.
- For optimal flavor and texture, cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow ingredients to meld together.
- Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator, portioning into small servings using a cookie scoop or spoon.
- Store remaining cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps it firm up and enhances the texture, making it more cookie-like and satisfying.
- Protein powder acts as a binding agent, replacing traditional flour while boosting nutritional value.
- Different sweeteners like stevia, honey, or monk fruit can adjust the taste and calorie content.
- Chocolate chip selection matters – dark chocolate offers antioxidants, while milk chocolate provides sweeter indulgence.
- Storing in an airtight container keeps the dough fresh for 3-5 days in the refrigerator, perfect for quick snacking.
