High Protein Cookie Dough
This edible protein cookie dough is super easy to make! It gives you that classic chocolate chip cookie dough flavor but with a ton of protein, fiber, and nutrients too! And this eggless cookie dough is safe to eat straight from the bowl.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp salted butter melted
- 3/4 C + 2 Tbsp almond flour
- 1/4 C vanilla protein powder
- 2 Tbsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1/4 C chocolate chips
- Optional: pinch of salt
Instructions
- Melt butter in a medium sized mixing bowl (about 30-seconds in the microwave)
- Add almond flour, protein powder, almond milk, and maple syrup to the bowl and stir until combined and a dough is formed
- Stir in the chocolate chips
- Grab a spoon, dig in, and enjoy!
Notes
*While this recipe as written is gluten free, if you have celiac disease it is a good idea to verify that the almond milk brand you buy is certified as gluten free.
* To make this into a vegan edible cookie dough, you will need to make a few easy substitutions:
- Replace the butter with a vegan alternative like coconut oil or vegan butter. Note: using coconut oil does change the flavor a bit. I like it, but it isn’t as classic of a chocolate chip cookie flavor as when butter is used.
- Replace the vanilla whey protein with a vanilla vegan protein powder
- Select a vanilla protein powder that is certified to be dairy free. It may be easier to look for a vegan vanilla protein powder as that will be dairy free.
