Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Vanilla or Unflavored Protein Powder whey, casein, or plant-based, about 4 scoops depending on brand
  • 1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter creamy, unsweetened, or almond/cashew butter
  • 3 tbsp Maple Syrup or honey, agave, or a sugar-free liquid sweetener to taste
  • 3-4 tbsp Unsweetened Almond Milk or any preferred milk, adjust for desired consistency
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
Mix-ins (Optional)
  • 1/4 cup Chocolate Chips mini or regular, sugar-free optional

Equipment

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, maple syrup, unsweetened almond milk (start with 3 tbsp), and vanilla extract. Stir well with a spatula until the ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
  2. Add the protein powder and salt to the wet mixture. Mix vigorously with the spatula. The mixture will initially seem crumbly but will come together into a thick dough. If the dough is too dry or stiff, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of almond milk, or more, 1 teaspoon at a time, until a pliable, cookie dough-like consistency is achieved.
  3. Once the dough has reached the desired consistency, gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Your high protein cookie dough is ready to enjoy immediately! For a firmer texture, cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before serving. This recipe is intended to be eaten raw and should not be baked.

Notes

Feel free to get creative with your mix-ins! Try chopped nuts, shredded coconut, dried fruit, or other flavors of protein powder. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also roll the dough into balls for easy portion control.
