Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, mix the oats, protein powder, almond or coconut flour, and baking powder together until evenly distributed.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick dough-like consistency forms.
  5. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or nuts into the mixture until evenly incorporated.
Baking
  1. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
  3. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
