Greek yogurt is really what makes this whole thing work. I was looking for ways to sneak more protein into treats and discovered it's awesome in sweets, too. It's a little bit tangy so it balances out the sugar, plus it makes everything super smooth—no need for extra cream or butter.

Recipe Questions & Answers

→ Does almond butter swap in for peanut butter?

Definitely! Almond butter gives it a new twist and is perfect for folks avoiding peanuts.

→ Is there something else I can use instead of oat flour?

For a lower-carb twist, grab almond flour. All-purpose flour is fine too, just make sure gluten isn't a problem.

→ Can I turn this cookie dough totally plant-based?

You bet! Use maple syrup instead of honey, and grab a vegan Greek yogurt option.

→ How long should I leave the dough in the fridge?

Pop the dough in the fridge for at least half an hour. This makes it nice and firm.

→ What's the best way to keep any extra dough?

Put leftovers in a container with a tight lid and keep them chilled for up to three days.

→ Can I play around with different add-ins here?

Go for it! Toss in things like seeds, chocolate chips, nuts, or raisins to make it your own.
