Ingredients
Just five simple ingredients make up this quick and delicious protein cookie dough snack, packed with 20g of protein! Egg-, dairy- and vegan-free for optimal performance; ideal as an after-workout (or middle-of-the-night baby feeding) treat or addition to meal prep rotation; it can even provide protein-packed sweet treats throughout the week! Don’t forget the pinch of salt; it really brings out all the flavors!
I prefer Quest Vanilla Milkshake protein powder (aff link), though any vanilla-flavored whey or vegan protein will do just as well. When switching up flavors, always test and adjust accordingly!
Salt adds both flavor and texture to cookie dough, so I highly recommend including it if possible; otherwise omit if not available or prefer your desserts without added saltiness. For added dimension add in your favorite extract or spice!
Prep Time
With only basic ingredients on hand, this easy recipe takes minutes to put together and requires no baking! Perfect for satisfying post-workout or midnight baby feeding sweet cravings!
This high-protein cookie dough is naturally egg-, vegan-, nut- and gluten-free. Made with chickpeas for an indulgent buttery texture without all of the added fat usually associated with desserts.
Use a food processor or high-speed blender to blend all of the ingredients until smooth, adding several teaspoons of milk if needed to thin out the batter. Your protein powder choice can affect how wet or dry the texture is; if yours doesn’t mix smoothly or your batter seems too thick then experiment by adding additional milk or another ingredient such as coconut flour to make it more manageable – maple syrup could even be swapped out for another liquid sweetener of choice before folding in chocolate chips for an enjoyable breakfast treat!
