Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt full-fat for best texture
  • 1/2 cup natural sweetener honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup oat flour blend rolled oats for fresh oat flour
  • 1/2 cup protein powder vanilla or neutral whey works best
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup mix-ins chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Cookie scoop or tablespoon
  • Wire cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sweetener, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mix the oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in your mix-ins. If dough feels very soft, refrigerate for 15 minutes before scooping.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten each slightly with your palm.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Chill dough 15 minutes for thicker cookies. Swap oat flour with almond flour at a 1 to 1 ratio. Add an extra tablespoon of Greek yogurt if using plant-based protein powder. Store with a slice of bread in the container to keep cookies soft.
