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

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, egg, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth.
  3. 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.
  4. Gently fold in any mix-in, such as chocolate chips or fresh berries.
  5. Scoop out 8 equal portions of dough and shape them into cookies. Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn light golden brown. Let cool completely before serving—this helps them firm up.
