Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (dairy-free if necessary)
- Optional toppings: crushed nuts, sprinkles, or additional chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with silicone cups or parchment liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a thick, cookie dough-like consistency forms.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Scoop a generous tablespoon of dough into each muffin cup and flatten slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the cups to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optionally, drizzle with melted chocolate or top with crushed nuts or sprinkles before serving.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- For a lower-calorie version, use a sugar-free sweetener instead of honey or syrup.
- Add cinnamon, chopped nuts, or dried fruit for extra flavor and texture.
- Let the dough rest for 10 minutes before baking for better flavor and texture.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4–5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
