Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder (about 30g)
- 1 pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter or almond butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 2–4 tablespoons milk of choice (as needed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, protein powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly distributed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir everything together until fully combined and smooth.
- Adjust Consistency: Slowly add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, stirring between additions until the mixture attains a soft, cookie dough-like consistency that holds together but is still pliable.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough to evenly distribute them without breaking them up.
- Chill and Serve: Enjoy the cookie dough immediately or refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly for a thicker texture.
- Store Leftovers: Keep any leftover cookie dough in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week for freshness.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness according to your protein powder’s flavor and your personal taste.
- To make this recipe vegan, use dairy-free chocolate chips and plant-based milk.
- For a nut-free version, substitute oat flour for almond flour, though texture may vary slightly.
