Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup firm Greek yogurt, low-fat or full fat
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup granular sweetener (e.g., monk fruit)
  • 1 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract optional
  • Pinch of salt optional
  • Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips chopped nuts, or fresh berries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, egg, sweetener, vanilla extract (if using), and salt until smooth.
  • Gradually sift in almond flour and stir until a cookie dough forms.
  • Adjust consistency: Add a bit more flour if too sticky, or more yogurt if too dry.
  • Fold in your desired mix-ins such as chocolate chips, berries, or nuts.
  • Scoop out 8 equal portions of dough, shape them into cookies, and place them on the baking sheet with space between each.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet to firm up.

Notes

Nut-Free Variation:
  • Replace almond flour with oat flour
  • Omit nut-based mix-ins
Vegan-Friendly Variation:
  • Use dairy-free yogurt
  • Replace egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water)
Refined Sugar-Free Option:
  • Use stevia, erythritol, or coconut sugar instead of monk fruit
