Edible Protein Cookie Dough
This doughy and sweet edible protein cookie dough is gluten-free, secretly healthy, and made with vanilla protein powder and chickpeas. There are no eggs in this recipe, so you can eat it safely by the spoonful!
Ingredients
- 1 (15oz) can of unsalted chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- ⅓ cup creamy all-natural almond butter
- 2 Tbsp real maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup vanilla protein powder, spooned and leveled
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup coconut flour, spooned and leveled
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Drain and rinse chickpeas under cold water for at least 30 seconds; then gently pat dry with a paper towel.
- Add chickpeas to a high-speed food processor and blend for 30 – 45 seconds until completely smooth.
- Add almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend for an additional 30 - 45 seconds until completely mixed. The mixture should NOT have any lumps or chickpea pieces in it.
- Add protein powder, sugar, and coconut flour. Pulse and blend for another 30 seconds until the mixture resembled cookie dough.
- Remove the blade and fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
- Enjoy immediately with a spoon or add protein cookie dough to an airtight mason jar or container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Best enjoyed when left at room temperature for 5 - 10 minutes.
Notes
Sugar: You can also use coconut sugar.
Almond Butter: Make sure to use all-natural almond butter (one with just almonds as the ingredient).
Protein Powder: For best results, use vanilla protein powder (whey or pea protein). You can also use cookie dough flavor, but I do not recommend using unflavored.
Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight mason jar or container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. It is best enjoyed when left at room temperature for 5 - 10 minutes.
