This Protein Cookie Dough recipe is a delicious and healthy treat that combines almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and creamy peanut butter to create a rich and satisfying snack. Sweetened naturally with maple syrup and studded with chocolate chips, it's perfect for a high-protein, low-sugar indulgence that can be enjoyed straight from the bowl or rolled into convenient snack balls.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder

Wet Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unsalted creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup non-dairy milk, more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • ⅔ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour and vanilla protein powder until well blended and free of lumps.
  2. Melt Peanut Butter: Place the unsalted creamy peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 20 seconds until slightly melted and easier to mix.
  3. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the melted peanut butter, maple syrup, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to mix everything together thoroughly.
  4. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too dry, add 1-2 more tablespoons of non-dairy milk as needed to reach a cookie dough consistency that holds together but is not too sticky.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly into the dough, ensuring they are well distributed throughout.
  6. Serve or Store: The protein cookie dough can be enjoyed immediately as is or rolled into bite-sized balls for convenient snacking. Store in the refrigerator for optimal freshness and texture.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, try swapping vanilla protein powder for chocolate protein powder.
  • If dairy is not a concern, regular milk can be used instead of non-dairy milk.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste preferences.
  • Store the cookie dough in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
  • For a crunchy texture, try chilling the dough before rolling into balls.
  • Ensure to use unsalted peanut butter to control sodium levels.
