Why You’ll Love Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough : Creamy, Nutty, and Guilt-Free Snack Perfection!

I love this recipe because it’s no-bake, high in protein, and incredibly easy to make. I enjoy the creamy texture from the Greek yogurt combined with the nutty richness of peanut butter. I also appreciate how customizable it is, letting me switch up mix-ins depending on my mood.

Ingredients

(Note: All ingredient amounts are listed in the recipe card below.)

½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
2 tbsp peanut butter (or almond butter)
1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup oat flour (or almond flour)
Optional: chocolate chips, chopped nuts

Directions

I start by adding the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl. I stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

Next, I gradually mix in the oat flour until the texture thickens and forms a soft, dough-like consistency. If I want extra texture and sweetness, I fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts.

I enjoy it right away for a soft and creamy treat, or I chill it in the refrigerator if I prefer a firmer consistency.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes 2 servings. I usually spend about 5 minutes preparing it, with no cook time required, so it’s ready almost instantly.

Variations

I sometimes swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for a different nutty flavor. I also like adding a pinch of cinnamon or a few dark chocolate chunks. When I want a higher-protein version, I stir in a spoonful of vanilla protein powder and adjust the texture with a splash of milk.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. I prefer eating it chilled, and since it’s a no-bake treat, I never reheat it.
