Ingredients for Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough Bites
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat for best texture)
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

- ¼ cup oat flour
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips
- Optional: 1 tablespoon nut butter (for extra richness)
How to Make Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough Bites
Step 1: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, maple syrup (or honey), and nut butter if using. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients
Add almond flour, oat flour, and sea salt to the wet mixture. Stir together with a spatula until a soft dough forms. The dough should be thick enough to roll into balls; if it’s too sticky, add a bit more almond flour.
Step 3: Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 4: Shape the Dough Bites
Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out about 1 tablespoon of dough per bite. Roll each portion into a ball using clean hands.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Place the dough bites onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. Enjoy chilled, or serve at room temperature for a softer texture!
