Description

This protein-packed edible cookie dough is a healthy treat perfect for satisfying sweet cravings while boosting your protein intake. Made with simple ingredients, it’s safe to eat raw and can be enjoyed as a post-workout snack or guilt-free dessert.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (120 g) almond flour (or oat flour for a nut-free version)
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup or honey (adjust for desired sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, or regular)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (40 g) mini chocolate chips (sugar-free or dark chocolate for keto)

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients:
    • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, protein powder, and salt.
  2. Add the wet ingredients:
    • Stir in the almond butter, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the dough comes together and has a soft, cookie dough-like texture.
  3. Fold in chocolate chips:
    • Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  4. Adjust consistency if needed:
    • If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
  5. Serve:
    • Scoop into bowls or roll into bite-sized balls. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for 15 minutes for a firmer texture.

Notes

  • For a keto-friendly version, use a low-carb sweetener like erythritol and sugar-free chocolate chips.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Customize by adding crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
