Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup unsalted creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup (60 mL) non-dairy milk (more as needed)
- ⅔ cup (113 g) chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Dry Blend: Whisk almond flour and vanilla protein powder in a mixing bowl, ensuring a lump-free, uniform foundation for the cookie dough.
- Peanut Butter Prep: Microwave peanut butter for 20 seconds until smooth and easily manageable, creating a creamy base for the mixture.
- Liquid Integration: Combine melted peanut butter, maple syrup, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract with the dry ingredients. Fold using a spatula until a cohesive dough forms, adjusting consistency with additional non-dairy milk if needed.
- Chocolate Infusion: Gently fold chocolate chips throughout the dough, distributing them evenly to guarantee a consistent flavor profile in each bite.

Notes
- Smooth Out Lumps: Whisk dry ingredients thoroughly to prevent clumpy protein powder, ensuring a silky-smooth base for your cookie dough.
- Warm Peanut Butter Trick: Microwave peanut butter briefly to create a more malleable texture that blends effortlessly with other ingredients.
- Adjust Consistency Carefully: Add non-dairy milk gradually to achieve the perfect spreadable texture, avoiding a mixture that’s too dry or too wet.
- Chill for Best Results: Refrigerate the cookie dough to enhance flavor, firm up the texture, and extend its delicious shelf life.
