Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla – I usually go for full-fat for extra creaminess)
-
Nut butter (like almond, cashew, or peanut butter)
-
Maple syrup or honey (for natural sweetness)
-
Mini chocolate chips
-
Almond flour or oat flour (for that cookie dough texture)
-
Vanilla extract
-
A pinch of salt
Directions
-
I start by mixing the Greek yogurt with the nut butter in a bowl until it’s smooth and creamy.
-
I stir in the maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
-
I fold in the almond flour or oat flour to get that soft cookie dough consistency.
-
I toss in the mini chocolate chips and give it one last gentle mix.
-
I either enjoy it right away with a spoon or chill it for 10–15 minutes if I want a firmer texture.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes 1 to 2 servings, depending on how generous I’m feeling. It takes me just 5 minutes to prepare, making it one of the quickest and most satisfying recipes in my rotation.
Variations
-
I switch up the nut butter for a different flavor – cashew butter gives a more neutral cookie dough taste.
-
For a dairy-free option, I use coconut or almond-based yogurt.
-
Sometimes I add protein powder to turn it into a protein-packed snack.
-
I like tossing in some chopped nuts or coconut flakes for a crunchier version.
-
I’ve even layered it with granola and fruit to turn it into a parfait-style dessert.
Storage/Reheating
I store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I usually give it a quick stir before eating in case any separation happens. It’s meant to be eaten cold, so no reheating is needed.
FAQs
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, I often prep it the night before and keep it in the fridge for a ready-to-go breakfast or snack.
What’s the best yogurt to use?
I like using plain Greek yogurt for its thick texture and high protein, but vanilla yogurt works great if I want extra sweetness.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, especially when I use almond flour or certified gluten-free oat flour. Just double-check your chocolate chips and other ingredients if needed.
Can I freeze it?
I’ve tried freezing it in silicone molds for a frozen treat—it turns into cookie dough yogurt bites and they’re delicious.
Can I use sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit?
Absolutely. I just adjust the amount to taste, since those are much sweeter than maple syrup or honey.
Conclusion
This Delicious Cookie Dough Yogurt Delight has quickly become a staple in my kitchen. It’s everything I love about cookie dough, but in a lighter, more nourishing format that fits into my everyday routine. Whether I’m craving something sweet, creamy, or comforting, this recipe always delivers.
