Description

This Protein Cookie Dough recipe is a delicious and healthy treat made with almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and creamy peanut butter. Sweetened with maple syrup and studded with chocolate chips, this no-bake cookie dough is perfect for a quick snack or dessert that’s high in protein, gluten-free, and dairy-free.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (more as needed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 2/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Whisk dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour and vanilla protein powder until well combined.
  2. Melt peanut butter: Place the unsalted creamy peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it for about 20 seconds, just until it softens and becomes easier to mix.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Pour the melted peanut butter into the bowl with the almond flour mixture, then add the maple syrup, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Mix until combined: Use a rubber spatula to mix all the ingredients together thoroughly. If the dough is too thick, gradually add 1 to 2 more tablespoons of non-dairy milk until the desired consistency is reached.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough to distribute them evenly without melting.
  6. Serve or store: You can enjoy the cookie dough immediately as is, or roll it into bite-sized balls for easy snacking. Store the dough or balls in the refrigerator for the best freshness and texture.

Notes

  • This recipe is gluten-free and dairy-free when using non-dairy milk and dairy-free chocolate chips.
