Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup unsalted creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) non-dairy milk (more as needed)
Additional Ingredients:
- ⅔ cup (113 grams) chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine almond flour and vanilla protein powder in a medium mixing vessel, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any potential lumps and create a uniform dry base.
- Gently warm peanut butter in the microwave for approximately 20 seconds until it reaches a smooth, pliable consistency that will integrate seamlessly with other ingredients.
- Pour the liquefied peanut butter, maple syrup, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture, using a flexible spatula to blend components until a cohesive texture emerges.
- If the mixture appears excessively dense, incrementally introduce additional non-dairy milk to achieve an optimal, spreadable consistency.
- Carefully integrate chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Transform the mixture into bite-sized spheres for convenient snacking, or maintain its original rustic form depending on personal preference.
- Transfer the protein cookie dough to the refrigerator, where it will firm up and maintain optimal freshness, ready to be enjoyed as a chilled, nutritious treat.
Notes
- Microwaving peanut butter softens it quickly, making mixing a breeze and creating a smoother texture for the protein cookie dough.
- Non-dairy milk acts as a crucial binding agent, helping adjust the dough’s consistency and ensuring perfect moisture levels.
- Chocolate chips can be mixed directly into the dough or sprinkled on top for extra indulgence and personalized sweetness.
- Refrigeration enhances the flavor and provides a firmer, more satisfying texture perfect for on-the-go protein snacking.
- Almond flour and vanilla protein powder combine to create a low-carb, high-protein base that’s both nutritious and delicious.
- Maple syrup offers natural sweetness without excess refined sugars, making this recipe a healthier alternative to traditional cookie dough.
