Ingredients
1cupNut Butter (Almond, Peanut, or Cashew)Room temperature for easy mixing.
1cupAlternative Flour (Coconut or Almond Flour)Finely ground.
1/4cupNatural Sweetener (Honey, Agave, or Maple Syrup)Liquid and measured.
1teaspoonVanilla ExtractPure.
1/2cupChopped Nuts (Walnuts, Pecans, or Almonds)Optional, toasted and cooled.
1/4cupMini Dark Chocolate ChipsOptional, semi-sweet or dark.
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the nut butter, alternative flour, natural sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Use a sturdy spoon or rubber spatula and press through any lumps until the mixture becomes a cohesive dough.
If the mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon of almond milk or water until the desired consistency is reached. Add liquid one tablespoon at a time β you want a scoopable but not runny texture.
Fold in any optional add-ins like chopped nuts or chocolate chips. Mix gently to distribute evenly without overworking the dough. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Store the protein cookie dough in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage. When freezing, portion into small containers or a silicone mold for easy single-serve thawing.
Notes
This protein cookie dough is versatile. Serve it with apple slices, banana rounds, or pretzel sticks for dipping. Itβs also fantastic spooned over plain Greek yogurt or used as a topping for oatmeal or smoothie bowls.
