FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Regular yogurt can be used but the texture will be thinner and less creamy. Greek yogurt provides thickness and a rich texture that works best for this recipe.
What if I don’t have whey protein powder?
You can omit the protein powder, but the dough will have less protein and slightly different consistency. Alternatively, you might try plant-based protein powders if you prefer.
