Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup protein powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and protein powder, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any lumps and ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Add the maple syrup and peanut butter to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until a cohesive dough begins to form. Mix until the ingredients are completely integrated and no dry spots remain.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and continue mixing, ensuring the extract is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture. Use a folding motion to prevent breaking the chocolate chips.
- If the dough seems too sticky, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly. If too dry, add a teaspoon of maple syrup or milk to achieve desired consistency.
- Transfer the cookie dough to an airtight container or divide into individual serving portions.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and dough to chill. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Serve chilled and enjoy directly from the refrigerator as a protein-packed snack or dessert.
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure your peanut butter and maple syrup are at room temperature for smoother mixing.
- Protein Powder Selection: Choose a flavor that complements the cookie dough - vanilla or unflavored works best.
- Consistency is Key: If the dough feels too dry, add maple syrup or milk in small increments. If too wet, add a bit more almond flour.
- Chocolate Chip Hack: For extra indulgence, try using mini chocolate chips for more even distribution.
- Storage Tip: Always store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.
- Customization Options: Feel free to swap peanut butter with almond butter or add a sprinkle of sea salt for enhanced flavor.
- Portion Control: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to create uniform serving sizes for easy tracking.
