This Protein Cookie Dough recipe is a quick and easy no-bake treat that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while packing in protein. Made with almond flour, vanilla protein powder, peanut butter, and chocolate chips, it’s a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional cookie dough, ideal for a snack or dessert enjoyed straight from the fridge.

Ingredients

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 (plus more as needed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 2/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour and vanilla protein powder until well combined to ensure an even texture for the cookie dough.
  2. Melt Peanut Butter: Place the peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in the microwave for about 20 seconds. This softens it, making it easier to mix with the other ingredients.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the melted peanut butter to the dry mixture along with the maple syrup, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Mix Dough: Using a rubber spatula, mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until fully combined. If the dough feels too thick or dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more of non-dairy milk to achieve your desired consistency.
  5. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough, making sure they are well distributed.
  6. Serve or Store: You can enjoy the cookie dough immediately as is, or roll it into bite-sized balls for easy snacking. For best texture and freshness, store the dough or dough balls in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • You can adjust the consistency of the dough by adding more non-dairy milk if it’s too thick.
  • Feel free to substitute almond flour with oat flour for a different texture.
  • If you prefer, use any flavor of protein powder, but vanilla complements the sweetness best.
  • Storing in the fridge helps the dough firm up and enhances the flavor.
  • This recipe is perfect as a no-bake snack or dessert alternative, especially for those seeking a protein boost.
