How to Make Healthy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

PIN IT

1. Preheat & Prep – Heat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients – In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla until smooth.
3. Add Dry Ingredients – Stir in oat flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder until just combined.
4. Fold in Chocolate Chips – Use a spatula to gently mix in the chocolate chips.
5. Scoop & Bake – Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until set on the edges but soft in the center.
6. Cool & Enjoy – Let cookies rest for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

These cookies are soft when warm but firm up slightly as they cool—perfect for that chewy, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

What to Serve with Healthy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

• A cold glass of milk (dairy or plant-based).
• A scoop of vanilla Greek yogurt for extra protein.
• A warm latte or hot cocoa for cozy vibes.
• Pair with fresh strawberries for a fruity balance.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Don’t overbake – The key to soft centers is pulling them out just as the edges set.
• Chill the dough if it feels too sticky—it makes scooping easier.
• Use natural peanut butter without added sugar for the healthiest version.
• Double the batch because trust me, they disappear fast!

Storage Instructions

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Refrigerator: Keeps well for up to 1 week.
• Freezer: Freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 15–20 seconds to bring back the softness.
