Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter Natural peanut butter works best for texture and flavor.
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred)
  • 1/2 cup raw honey
  • 1 large egg Can be swapped for flaxseed meal for a vegan option.
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour Can be substituted with gluten-free flour.
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional) Add for extra flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Scoop dough using a 1.5 tbsp (#40) scoop and place them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  6. Flatten the cookies slightly with a fork.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
  2. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Serve cookies warm with a drizzle of honey or extra peanut butter. Store in an airtight container for about a week or freeze for up to three months. When ready to eat, reheat in the microwave for a few seconds.
