Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- ⅔ cup chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup non-dairy milk, more as needed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour and vanilla protein powder until well combined.
- Melt Peanut Butter: Place the peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 20 seconds until slightly melted and easier to mix.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the melted peanut butter, maple syrup, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Use a rubber spatula to mix everything together thoroughly, adding 1 to 2 more tablespoons of non-dairy milk if the dough feels too dry.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.
- Shape and Store: You can leave the dough as is for spooning or roll it into balls for easy snacking. Store the protein cookie dough in the refrigerator for best freshness and texture.
Notes
- The recipe uses vanilla pea protein, but you can substitute with whey or any vanilla protein powder, preferably one sweetened with stevia.
- Feel free to swap out peanut butter with any nut or seed butter of your choice to vary the flavor.
- If the dough is too dry, add non-dairy milk gradually to reach the preferred consistency.
- Storing in the fridge helps maintain freshness and texture, especially if rolled into balls.
