Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (96g) almond flour
  • 1/3 cup (35g) vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup (64g) natural peanut butter or almond butter
  • 1/4 cup (43g) mini dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon (7g) ground flaxseed (optional)
  • 23 tablespoons (30-45ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Combine 1 cup almond flour, 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder, 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed, and a pinch of sea salt in a mixing bowl and whisk until evenly distributed.
  2. Add 3 tablespoons maple syrup and 1/4 cup natural peanut butter to the dry ingredients and stir gently to start bringing the dough together.
  3. Slowly add 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk, stirring after each addition until the dough is moist but not sticky. Add the extra tablespoon if needed.
  4. Fold in 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips gently to distribute evenly without melting.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or salt as desired; optionally add a splash of vanilla extract.
  6. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for firmer texture or serve immediately for a softer dough.

Notes

Use room temperature nut butter for easier mixing. Adjust almond milk quantity to achieve desired dough consistency. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to a month. Avoid overmixing to prevent dry texture. Substitute ingredients for nut-free or vegan versions as needed.
