Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (or your preferred flavor)
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter or almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
  • 2–4 tablespoons water or milk (to adjust dough consistency)

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 well combined.
  2. Adjust the texture: Add water or milk a tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough reaches a soft, cookie dough consistency.
  3. Add chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips, if using, to add a sweet melty treat to the dough.
  4. Chill (optional): For a firmer dough, place it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to let it set and become easier to scoop.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Enjoy the cookie dough as-is or roll it into bite-sized balls for a convenient snack option.

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.
