Instructions
- Combine almond flour, protein powder, coconut sugar, and salt in a medium mixing bowl, ensuring thorough blending of dry ingredients for a consistent base.
- Incorporate almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms with a smooth texture.
- Evaluate dough consistency, gradually adding milk one tablespoon at a time to achieve an ideal scoopable texture that isn’t overly dense or runny.
- Delicately fold mini chocolate chips throughout the dough, distributing them evenly to guarantee a chocolatey element in each bite.
- Transfer the prepared cookie dough into a serving container, ready to be consumed immediately or refrigerated for up to one week, offering flexibility in serving temperature and storage.
Notes
- Swap nut butter based on dietary needs or preferences, using sunflower seed butter for nut-free options or tahini for unique flavor profiles.
- Control protein powder sweetness by selecting unflavored or lightly sweetened varieties to manage overall sugar content.
- Experiment with alternative sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit for lower-calorie versions that maintain delicious taste.
- Boost nutritional value by adding ground flaxseed or chia seeds for extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids without changing core recipe texture.
