Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup according to your preference.
- This dough stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For longer storage, freeze individual portions and thaw before eating.
- If following a specific diet like vegan or gluten-free, ensure your protein powder and nut butter comply with those requirements.
- Avoid overmixing to prevent tough dough.
- Letting the dough chill enhances flavor and scoopability.
