Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (thick, full-fat or 2%)
  • 2 tbsp nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
  • 23 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup oat flour (blended rolled oats)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 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

  1. Combine wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of nut butter, 2 to 3 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until mixture is smooth and creamy. Whisk longer if there are lumps, so the flavors meld beautifully.
  2. Add dry ingredients: Gently fold in ¾ cup oat flour and a pinch of salt to form a soft, dough-like consistency. If the dough is too wet, add oat flour one teaspoon at a time until it holds its shape and looks glossy.
  3. Fold in chips and add-ins: Carefully fold in 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips and any optional add-ins like crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or a dash of cinnamon. This keeps the texture intact and balances the sweetness; adjust maple syrup if desired.
  4. Chill or serve: Chill dough in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes to thicken and become scoopable, or serve immediately for a creamy, spoonable treat. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Use thick Greek yogurt, draining briefly if too watery, for best texture.
  • Chill the dough 20–30 minutes to firm up for easier scooping.
  • Spoon and level oat flour to avoid tough dough.
  • Fold in chocolate chips and add-ins gently to maintain texture.
  • Taste dough and adjust sweetness with additional maple syrup if needed.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
