Description

This Protein Cookie Dough is the ultimate guilt-free snack or dessert that tastes like the real thing—but with a wholesome twist. It’s soft, chocolatey, low sugar, and made in one bowl. Each serving has around 6g of protein, making it perfect for anyone looking to squeeze in some extra protein.


Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons softened coconut oil or butter

3-4 tablespoons milk

1/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar

3/4 cup almond flour

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup chocolate chips


Instructions

Cream the coconut oil and sugar: In a medium bowl, mix together softened coconut oil (or butter) with coconut sugar until fluffy and well combined.

Add the milk: Pour in the milk a tablespoon at a time until smooth and creamy.

Mix in the dry ingredients: Add almond flour and cocoa powder. Stir until a soft, chocolatey dough forms.

Fold in the chocolate chips: Because no cookie dough is complete without them. 🍫

Roll or scoop: Shape into cookie dough balls or enjoy it straight from the bowl (no judgment here).

Notes

Soften, don’t melt the coconut oil: If it’s too runny, the dough may turn oily. Softened oil gives the best texture.

Add milk slowly: Start with 3 tablespoons and add more only if the dough feels dry. It should be soft but not sticky.

Mix-ins are your bestie: Fold in chopped nuts, seeds, or even sugar-free sprinkles for extra crunch and fun.

Adjust texture: If the dough feels too dry, add a splash of milk. If it’s too soft, add a spoonful of almond flour to thicken it up.
