Ingredients

  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup almond butter
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ¼ cup vegan protein powder
  • ¼ cup coconut oil measured solid

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If you haven’t already, melt the coconut oil (and honey if needed).
  2. Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl (omit the chocolate chips) and mix well. Pour in the coconut oil and honey and mix to combine.
  3. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and mix well.
  4. Grease or wet your hands and roll the dough into bite-sized balls (about 14 of them).
  5. Enjoy them as is or place them in the fridge to set firmer.

Notes

  • Any nut butter will work for the cookie dough balls. So, use what you have on hand or try new nut butters to switch up the flavor!

  • Do not confuse almond flour with almond meal. Almond meal is ground almonds and will alter the texture of the balls.
  • you can eat this cookie dough as-is off a spoon, rolled into bites/balls, or firm them up in the fridge for pop-in-your-mouth snacks.
  • the type of protein powder you choose will affect the texture and the flavor of the recipe
  • Check out my three favorite protein powders and know that the fermented ones absorb liquid more. If using a non-pea protein powder, scale the coconut oil back by one tablespoon or so
  • One serving is two balls
  • Note: a reader used whey protein + butter (in place of the coconut oil) and said they turned out great. If you're a dairy lover, that's an option!
