Protein Cookie Dough Bark

Protein Cookie Dough Bark is a no-bake treat combining almond flour, vanilla protein powder, coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and chocolate chips into a dough-like base. It is pressed into a bark shape and topped with melted chocolate and optional flaky sea salt, then chilled to set. The result balances protein content with the familiar flavor and texture of cookie dough combined with a chocolate topping for a snack or dessert.

  • 2 Tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2-4 Tablespoons water I used 2
  • ¼ cup + 1 ½ Tablespoons chocolate chips I used Lily's
  • sea salt optional, flaky

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add almond flour, protein powder, ¼ cup coconut oil and honey (or maple syrup to a medium mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
  2. Add water, 1 Tablespoon at a time, stirring the cookie dough each time until the cookie dough is sticking together well. You don't want it dry and crumbly, but you also don't want it too wet.
  3. Add 1 ½ Tablespoons of chocolate chips to the dough and stir to incorporate.
  4. Place cookie dough on a small parchment lined baking sheet and press it into a rectangular shape.
  5. Add remaining chocolate chips with ½ teaspoon coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-second increments until fully melted.
  6. Spread melted chocolate on top of the cookie dough in a thin layer. Sprinkle on a little flaky sea salt, if desired and pop the bark into the freezer for the chocolate to set, about 30 minutes- 1 hour. Cut into pieces and enjoy. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
