Protein powder comes in many delicious flavors; just keep in mind that different protein powders absorb liquid differently, so depending on which kind you select, you may have to adjust the amount of milk accordingly to achieve a satisfying texture.
As vanilla-flavored protein powder will add natural sweetness and an irresistibly delicious cookie dough flavor, I recommend choosing either a whey-casein protein blend or isolate; just remember that using an isolate requires more milk as it’s less water-soluble than its counterparts.
Cooking
Protein Cookie Dough is an irresistibly decadent treat or healthy dessert you can quickly make in no time at all, using just minimal ingredients and ingredients needed. Furthermore, it is vegan-friendly, gluten-free and has low carb content!
Vanilla protein powder works particularly well in this recipe and adds an extra sweet note to the dessert. Additionally, collagen peptides provide additional amino acid benefits.
For optimal texture, it’s essential that milk be added slowly rather than all at once, as protein powder absorbency varies. Adding too much milk at once could result in a runny texture. For keto-friendly options such as maple syrup or another liquid sweetener such as stevia or monk fruit can replace milk as the liquid sweetener; you can then roll this protein cookie dough into balls or bites and refrigerate until ready to enjoy it!
