Protein Cookie Dough Recipe

This protein-packed cookie dough is a delicious, no-bake treat that satisfies cravings while boosting energy.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2-3 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 80g (¾ cup) oat flour (or almond flour)
  • 40g (½ cup) vanilla or chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour (for extra thickness)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)

Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp peanut butter (or almond butter for a milder flavor)
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (for natural sweetness)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 60ml (¼ cup) unsweetened almond milk (or dairy milk)

Mix-ins (Optional):

  • 50g (¼ cup) dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, protein powder, coconut flour, salt, and cinnamon.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients – In another bowl, mix peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth.
  3. Form the Dough – Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms. If too dry, add a bit more almond milk (1 tsp at a time).
  4. Add Mix-ins – Fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or any other mix-ins of choice.
  5. Enjoy Immediately or Store – Eat the cookie dough right away or refrigerate for a firmer texture.

Notes

  • For a Softer Dough: Add an extra tablespoon of almond milk.
  • For a Thicker, Cheesecake-Like Texture: Add 2 tbsp Greek yogurt.
  • For a Low-Carb Option: Use almond flour instead of oat flour and a sugar-free sweetener.
  • For Extra Sweetness Without Sugar: Try mashed banana or dates instead of honey.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
