Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (plus more as needed)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
- 3-4 tbsp oat flour (or almond flour)
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tbsp mix-ins of choice (chocolate chips, M&Ms, oats, etc.)
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, plain Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract if using. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: To the same bowl, add the vanilla protein powder, oat flour, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, forming a dough-like consistency.
- Incorporate Mix-ins and Chill: Fold in your chosen mix-ins such as chocolate chips or oats. Place the mixture in the freezer for about 5 minutes to chill and firm up slightly. If the dough is too thin after chilling, gradually add more oat flour by teaspoons until you achieve your desired consistency. Enjoy your protein-packed no bake cookie dough!
Notes
- Adjust the amount of oat flour depending on your preferred texture—more flour will yield a thicker dough.
- Use almond flour instead of oat flour for a gluten-free option.
- Greek yogurt adds creaminess and increases the protein content; use plain to keep sugar content low.
- Mix-ins can be customized to your taste preferences or dietary needs.
- This recipe is best enjoyed immediately or kept refrigerated for up to a day.
