Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (more as needed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Whisk Flour Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour and vanilla protein powder until evenly combined.
  2. Melt Peanut Butter: Place the unsalted creamy peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 20 seconds until it softens and becomes easier to mix.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the melted peanut butter to the flour mixture along with the maple syrup, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Mix Together: Using a rubber spatula, mix all the ingredients until they are well combined, adding 1-2 more tablespoons of non-dairy milk if the dough is too thick or crumbly.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough, making sure they are evenly distributed.
  6. Serve or Store: Enjoy the cookie dough as is, or roll it into balls for easy snacking. Store in the refrigerator for best texture and freshness.
