Ingredients

• Base: 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (thick, full-fat or 2%), 2 tbsp nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew), 2–3 tbsp maple syrup or honey, 1 tsp vanilla extract.
• Dry: ¾ cup oat flour (finely blended rolled oats), pinch of salt.
• Mix-ins: 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips (halal-certified or dark chocolate).
• Optional Add-Ins: 1 tbsp crushed nuts or seeds, 1 tbsp shredded coconut, dash of cinnamon.

Instructions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, nut butter, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

Add the oat flour and salt. Stir until a soft, cookie-dough-like texture forms.

Step 3

Fold in the mini chocolate chips and any optional add-ins you desire, such as crushed nuts, coconut, or cinnamon.

Step 4

For a thicker, scoopable texture, refrigerate for 20–30 minutes before serving. Otherwise, enjoy immediately by the spoonful.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To achieve the best consistency, use the required tools such as a whisk for the base and a rubber spatula for folding in the mix-ins. Using thick Greek yogurt is essential for a creamy result; if your yogurt is too thin, the dough may not reach the desired cookie-dough-like texture.

Varianten und Anpassungen

This recipe is highly adaptable to various dietary needs. For a nut-free version, simply swap the nut butter for sunflower seed butter. If you are following a gluten-free diet, ensure your oat flour is made from certified gluten-free oats. You can also experiment with different chocolate chips or add shredded coconut for extra texture.
