How to Make Protein Greek Yogurt Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, egg, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In another bowl, mix oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.
Fold in optional add-ins like chocolate chips or berries.
Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking tray and gently flatten them into cookie shapes.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and cookies are set.
Let them cool completely before eating—they will firm up as they cool.
How to Serve
Enjoy warm or chilled as a snack, breakfast bite, or post-workout treat. They pair well with coffee, tea, or a protein shake.
Tips for Best Results
Don’t overbake or they may dry out. Adjust sweetness based on your protein powder. If dough is too sticky, add a bit more oat flour. For softer cookies, slightly underbake them.
Variations
Make them chocolate flavor by adding cocoa powder. Use peanut butter for a richer taste. Add coconut flakes for texture. Use berries for a fruity version.
Storage and Meal Prep
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw when needed.
