I love cookie dough!

But this version lets you indulge without the guilt.

It’s high in protein, quick to whip up, and feels like dessert even though it’s secretly packed with nutrients.

This is one of my go-to snacks, especially in the evenings when I want something sweet but also filling.

My partner, who’s an athlete, loves it too because it gives him that extra protein boost without me spending hours in the kitchen.

The best part? You don’t even need to turn on the oven.

Let’s get to it!

Tips to Make it Even Better!

If you want an extra rich flavor, try adding a dash of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt.

Using mini chocolate chips makes every bite sweeter.

For more texture, stir in chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or even crushed pretzels.

If you don’t already own one, a good food processor will save you time when making oat flour from scratch. I also love keeping glass meal prep jars on hand to portion these out for quick grab-and-go snacks.

High Protein Cookie Dough

Recipe by Chloe M.Course: Dessert, BreakfastDifficulty: Easy

Servings

Prep time

minutes

Ingredients

1 cup vanilla protein powder
1 cup oat flour (you can make this by blending rolled oats)
1/2 cup natural peanut butter or almond butter
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup milk of choice (adjust for texture)
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

Start by mixing together the protein powder and oat flour in a large mixing bowl so that the dry ingredients are evenly combined.
Next, add in your nut butter and honey, then slowly pour in the milk while stirring until the mixture forms a thick, dough-like texture.
If it feels too dry, add a splash more milk; if it’s too sticky, sprinkle in a little extra oat flour.
Fold in the chocolate chips until they’re evenly distributed, then scoop the dough into a jar or enjoy straight from the bowl.

You can also use this as a spread. =)

Substitutions and Add-Ins:

If you don’t have oat flour, almond flour works beautifully for a softer texture. For a vegan version, stick to maple syrup and plant-based protein powder. If peanut butter isn’t your thing, almond butter or sunflower seed butter are great alternatives. You can even switch up the flavor completely by using chocolate protein powder instead of vanilla.
