Servings: cookies

Ingredients

1 cup (220 g) firm Greek yogurt low-fat or full fat
1 large egg
⅓ cup (80 g) granular sweetener I used monk fruit
1 cup (100 g) almond flour or oat flour

Optional Ingredients

½ tsp vanilla extract
pinch salt
mix-ins chocolate chips, chopped nuts, fresh berries

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, egg, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth.
Gradually sift in almond flour and mix until a cookie dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little extra flour. Or add more Greek yogurt if it's still wet.
Gently fold in any mix-in, such as chocolate chips or fresh berries.
Scoop out 8 equal portions of dough and shape them into cookies. Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn light golden brown. Let cool completely before serving—this helps them firm up.
