# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups plain non-fat Greek yogurt and 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy. This forms the essential tangy base for your Healthy Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough (5-Minute Recipe).
02 -
To the yogurt mixture, add 1/2 cup oat flour, 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp light brown sugar, packed, and 1 tbsp cashew butter. These ingredients provide the core structure and sweetness.
03 -
Stir in 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp almond extract, 1/4 tsp fine sea salt, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and a pinch of ground nutmeg. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and fragrant.
04 -
Using a spatula or spoon, thoroughly mix all the ingredients together until a thick, uniform "dough" forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well combined for your Healthy Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough (5-Minute Recipe).
05 -
Gently fold in 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips (60% cacao or higher) and 2 tbsp chopped walnuts. If desired, add 1 tbsp sprinkles for an extra touch of fun and color to your Healthy Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough (5-Minute Recipe).

Your Healthy Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough (5-Minute Recipe) is ready to enjoy! Divide into 4 servings and serve immediately. For a firmer texture, cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15-30 minutes before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Oat flour can be easily made by blending rolled oats into a fine powder. For a nut-free version, omit cashew butter and increase Greek yogurt by 1-2 tablespoons for consistency.
02 -
Store any leftover cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It may thicken slightly when chilled.
03 -
Enjoy this healthy cookie dough straight from the bowl, or serve it with apple slices, graham crackers, or as a topping for fruit or oatmeal.
04 -
Feel free to experiment with other mix-ins like shredded coconut, dried cranberries, white chocolate chips, or a different nut butter to suit your taste.
