Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150 grams) old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup (120 grams) whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (120 grams) unsweetened plain Greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) melted coconut oil
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) honey
  • ½ cup (100 grams) brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (90 grams) mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together old-fashioned oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, egg, honey, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. The dough will be thick but should hold together well.
  5. Fold in mini chocolate chips or other mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or shredded coconut.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or spoons, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers will look soft but will firm up as the cookies cool.
  8. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid dense cookies.’, ‘Let the egg and yogurt come to room temperature for better mixing and texture.’, ‘If the dough feels too sticky, chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking.’, ‘Pull cookies out of the oven when edges are golden but centers look slightly underbaked.’, ‘Experiment with mix-ins like nuts, dried fruit, or shredded coconut for variety.’]
