High Protein Cookie Dough Recipe
High Protein Cookie Dough Recipe is one of my favorite healthy treats. It tastes sweet and creamy. It feels like real cookie dough. But it is packed with protein.
Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder
- ½ cup natural peanut butter
- ¼ cup almond flour heat-treated
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 2 –4 tablespoons milk any kind
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Prepare Your Bowl
- Take a clean mixing bowl. Make sure it is dry. Add peanut butter first. This helps everything mix smoothly. If your peanut butter is hard, microwave for 10 seconds. It should be soft but not runny.
Add the Dry Ingredients
- Add protein powder and almond flour into the bowl. Sprinkle salt on top. Mix gently with a spoon. At first, it will look dry and crumbly. Do not worry. That is normal.
Pour in the Sweetness
- Add maple syrup or honey. Then add vanilla extract. Start mixing slowly. The mixture will begin to come together. It will still look thick. That is exactly what we want.
Adjust the Texture
- Add milk one tablespoon at a time. Mix after each spoon. Stop when the dough looks soft and scoopable. It should feel like classic cookie dough. Not too sticky. Not too dry.
Fold in Chocolate Chips
- Add dark chocolate chips. Gently fold them into the dough. Make sure they are spread evenly. Now taste a small spoon. Adjust sweetness if needed.
Chill Before Serving
- Place the bowl in the fridge for 20 minutes. This step is optional but helpful. The dough becomes thicker and richer. Scoop into small bowls and enjoy.
Notes
- Use chocolate protein powder for double chocolate flavor.
- Swap peanut butter with almond butter for a lighter taste.
- Add crushed nuts for extra crunch.
- Mix in chia seeds for added fiber.
- Use sugar-free syrup for lower calories.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon for warmth.
- Stir in mini white chocolate chips for fun.
