Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (or your preferred flavor)
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats (adds fiber and texture)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter or almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–4 tablespoons water or milk (to adjust dough consistency)

Optional

  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix the ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, rolled oats, nut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated to form a slightly crumbly mixture.
  2. Adjust the texture: Gradually add water or milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until the dough reaches a soft, pliable cookie dough consistency that holds together.
  3. Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips gently to distribute evenly throughout the dough for an added sweet and melty treat.
  4. Chill (optional): For a firmer texture, transfer the dough to a covered container and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This step helps the dough set and makes it easier to handle.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Enjoy the protein cookie dough as is, or roll it into bite-sized balls for a convenient, on-the-go snack packed with protein and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or any other nut butter you prefer.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan-friendly option.
  • Adjust the amount of water or milk depending on your desired dough consistency.
  • The rolled oats add fiber and texture—feel free to use gluten-free oats if necessary.
  • Store the dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a handful of nuts for added flavor and crunch.
