Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup unsalted creamy peanut butter
Liquid and Sweetening Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (can add more as needed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Flavor Addition:
- 2/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Blend almond flour and vanilla protein powder thoroughly in a large mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of the protein powder.
- Warm unsalted creamy peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl for approximately 20 seconds to soften its consistency.
- Pour softened peanut butter, maple syrup, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredient mixture, gently folding with a rubber spatula until fully integrated.
- Adjust mixture’s moisture by adding extra non-dairy milk incrementally if the dough appears too dry, maintaining a cohesive texture.
- Distribute chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough, mixing gently to create consistent chocolate pockets.
- Optional: Shape the mixture into compact bite-sized spheres for convenient snacking or serving directly from the mixing bowl.
- Transfer protein cookie dough to a refrigerated container, allowing it to chill and develop a firmer, more authentic cookie dough consistency.
- Store in the refrigerator for optimal texture and freshness, consuming within 5-7 days for the best taste experience.
Notes
- Swap protein powders carefully to maintain the right texture and taste, ensuring the protein powder is neutral-flavored and blends smoothly.
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting maple syrup amounts or using alternative liquid sweeteners like honey or agave for different flavor profiles.
- Store in airtight containers for up to 5 days in the refrigerator, allowing flavors to meld and develop a richer taste over time.
