Protein Greek Yogurt Cookies are a healthier twist on traditional cookies, offering a rich protein boost with Greek yogurt and protein powder. These cookies are light, chewy, and perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings while keeping the nutrition intact.

Ingredients

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)

1/2 cup natural sweetener (like honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar)

1 large egg (room temperature)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup oat flour

1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or neutral flavor)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup mix-ins (dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, natural sweetener, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated.
  5. Fold in your mix-ins (dark chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers to your desired thickness.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra protein boost, add an extra scoop of protein powder or mix in chia seeds or flax seeds.

If you prefer a sweeter cookie, simply increase the amount of sweetener or add more chocolate chips or dried fruit.

To make it vegan, swap the egg for a flax egg and use a plant-based protein powder.

Experiment with different mix-ins like peanut butter, shredded coconut, or raisins for a personalized flavor.
