This Protein Cookie Dough is a delicious, guilt-free treat that allows you to enjoy the rich, sweet flavors of cookie dough while getting a healthy dose of protein. Made with simple ingredients like protein powder, almond butter, and a touch of sweetness, this edible cookie dough is perfect for a post-workout snack or as a sweet treat anytime you’re craving something indulgent but nutritious.

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats (or oat flour for a smoother texture)

1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1/4 cup chocolate protein powder (or your preferred protein powder)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for added texture)

2–3 tablespoons milk (or a non-dairy milk alternative)

Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats (or oat flour) and protein powder.
  2. Add in the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
  3. Gradually add in the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough reaches a cookie dough-like consistency. You want it to be thick but still easy to stir.
  4. Stir in a pinch of salt and the mini chocolate chips (if using).
  5. Taste the dough and adjust the sweetness or texture if needed by adding more honey or milk.
  6. Once everything is mixed well, enjoy right away as an edible cookie dough! Alternatively, you can refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to firm it up a bit more.
  7. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

If you want a sweeter dough, simply add more honey or maple syrup to taste.

Substitute almond butter with peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter if you prefer.

For a smoother texture, use oat flour or a gluten-free flour blend instead of rolled oats.

If you want to make this vegan, use plant-based protein powder and maple syrup.

Try adding spices like cinnamon, cocoa powder, or almond extract for a different flavor profile.
