by: claire cary
This protein cookie dough is a simple five minute recipe that is perfect for a post workout snack or healthy dessert. It's vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free and has 10 grams of protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- ¼ cup unsalted creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup non-dairy milk more as needed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ⅔ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Whisk together the almond flour and protein powder.
- Add the peanut butter to the microwave and heat for about 20 seconds, just to melt it slightly so it's easier to work with.
- Add the peanut butter to the flour along with the maple syrup, milk and vanilla.
- Mix together with a rubber spatula until combined, adding 1-2 more tablespoons of milk as needed.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Leave as is or roll into balls. Store in the fridge for best results.
Notes
I used vanilla pea protein, but you can also use whey protein or whatever you prefer. I do recommend sticking with vanilla, and using one with stevia.
You can use any nut or seed butter of choice here, but I love the flavor of peanut butter.
