Peanut Butter Protein Cookie Dough
Description
The recipe starts by rinsing and peeling chickpeas to reduce their bean flavor and improve texture. These chickpeas mix in a food processor with almond milk, maple syrup, and melted peanut butter into a smooth base. Adding vanilla-flavored casein protein powder yields a dense, dough-like consistency. Chocolate chips folded in supply bursts of sweetness reminiscent of traditional cookie dough.
This no-bake preparation provides a protein-enriched snack or dessert alternative that stores in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. The almond milk and peanut butter create moistness and flavor, while the peeled chickpeas offer bulk and a mild backdrop. The dough’s texture is creamy with occasional chocolate crunches.
It is suited for those seeking a high-protein and plant-ingredient-based treat that can be eaten raw, offering a familiar cookie dough feel and flavor without raw eggs or flour.
Ingredients
- 1 oz can chickpeas low sodium
- 1/4 cup peanut butter 64 grams, Skippy Natural Creamy brand
- 1/4 cup almond milk 2 oz, unsweetened vanilla
- 3 tbsp maple syrup (1 1/2 oz)
- 1 coop casein protein powder 34 grams, Cellucor brand, vanilla flavor
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 56 grams, Nestle Toll House mini sized
Instructions
- Drain and rinse chickpeas, then remove the outer shells of the chickpeas (the shells should come off easily).
- Add chickpeas, almond milk, maple syrup, and melted peanut butter to a food processor or powerful blender. Blend until smooth - you may have to stop and scrape the sides once or twice to help facilitate blending. Try to avoid adding extra liquid unless you really need it.
- Add protein powder to the food processor and continue to blend until mixed in and a thick dough has formed.
- Remove the dough from the food processor and fold in chocolate chips.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
