Description

This Protein Cookie Dough is a five-minute, no-bake treat that’s soft, chewy, and loaded with classic cookie dough flavor — all without eggs or refined sugar. With around 10g of protein per serving, it’s a perfect post-workout snack or healthy dessert.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter (unsalted)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup non-dairy milk (plus extra if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup chocolate chips


Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour and protein powder until well combined.

2. Microwave the peanut butter for about 20 seconds to soften.

3. Add the warmed peanut butter to the dry ingredients along with maple syrup, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract.

4. Stir with a rubber spatula until a thick dough forms. If too dry, add 1–2 tablespoons of extra milk.

5. Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

6. Enjoy immediately or roll into bite-sized balls for easy snacking.

7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for best texture.


Notes

Vanilla pea protein, whey, or other plant-based protein powders can all be used — stick with vanilla flavor for best results.

Swap peanut butter with almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter for different flavor profiles.

For firmer texture, refrigerate before serving. Keeps well in the fridge for several days.

Perfect for quick snacks, post-workout fuel, or a healthier dessert.
