Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cookie Dough Mixture
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Make Cookie Dough: In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, melted butter or coconut oil, salt, and brown sugar until a crumbly dough forms.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough mixture to evenly distribute them.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Form Dough Balls: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to form small balls of the dough mixture, placing each onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Flatten Dough Balls: Gently press each dough ball with your fingers to flatten them slightly for easier topping.
- Add Yogurt Topping: Use a spoon to place a dollop of the yogurt mixture on top of each flattened dough bite.
- Freeze Bites: Freeze the bites for at least 2 hours or until they are firm to the touch.
- Store Properly: Once frozen, remove the bites from the baking sheet and store them in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness.
- Serve: Allow the bites to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to slightly soften them for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup for honey to make this recipe vegan if using coconut oil instead of butter.
- For added crunch, consider incorporating chopped nuts into the cookie dough mixture.
- If you prefer a stronger vanilla flavor, use vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt and reduce the vanilla extract accordingly.
- These bites can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Allow bites to soften slightly at room temperature before eating for the best texture.
