Ingredients You’ll Need

It is a cool and easy recipe. No flashy powders and stupid ingredients, just pure, natural ingredients.

Main Ingredients:

• Pinch of salt – promotes sweetness and balances the nut butter.h-protein, and one of the quickest ways to pull together a snack that actually feels good. Let me know how you customize yours. I love seeing the different versions you all come up with– extra sprinkles, more peanut butter, or maybe a swirl of Nutella (no judgment here).
• Plain Greek yogurt – high-protein creamy base.
• Vanilla protein powder – will add that cookie-dough taste and add more protein.
• Nut butter – peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter are all okay.
• Maple syrup or honey – only a drizzle to harmonize.
• Mini chocolate chips – since cookie dough cannot exist without chocolate.
• Vanilla extract – optional, but gives that old-fashioned cookie taste.

Optional Add-Ins:

• Oats or oat flour – to have that dough-like consistency.
• Chia seeds – are a source of fiber and thickening.
• Cinnamon – has a warm and enveloping taste.
• Banana, berries, or granola – what can be nicer to add some texture and nutrients?

Ingredient Swaps & Easy Customizations

There is no day that resembles another, and this is why this recipe fits your pantry.

The following are some of the swaps you can make to make it yours:

• Dairy alternative: Replace with coconut or almond yogurt, as well as plant-based protein powder.
• Nut free: Replace with tahini or sunflower seed butter.
• No protein powder? Stir in 2 teaspoons oat flour or extra Greek yogurt for texture and natural protein.
• Chocolate preferences option: Add cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder.
• Other toppings: Granola, or wholemeal crushed nuts.
• Less sweet: Omit the maple syrup; the protein powder usually is very sweet.
• Dessert mode: Place some chunks of chocolate in it and freeze it; it’ll be delicious, like a cookie dough ice cream!
• On-the-go version: Prepare the base and toppings in a mason jar to have an easy, high-protein snack on the go.

Tips for Busy Moms

Admittedly, mornings are disruptive. Here’s how to make this even easier:

• Prepare it at mealtime: Prepare the chocolate-chip-free base of the yogurt. Keep in the refrigerator for no longer than 3 days. Add mix-ins immediately before serving.
• Make it kid-friendly: Allow your kids to pick their own topping: berries, sprinkles, or mini marshmallows. They’ll think it’s dessert!
• Pack it for the car: Mason jars or reusable snack containers make this a grab-and-go breakfast.
• After workout snack: It contains just the right necessary amount of protein and carbohydrates to aid in recovery.

Candy craving solution: Keep it in your refrigerator rather than the real cookie dough, and you will be glad you did later!
