Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, and Greek yogurt until smooth.

Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir with a spatula until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. Adjust consistency with a bit more almond flour if too wet, or a teaspoon of water or yogurt if too dry.

Scoop 12 equal portions onto the baking sheet spaced about 2 inches apart. Flatten each slightly to form 2-inch rounds.
