Protein Cookie Dough Bark (Healthy No-Bake Dessert)
This Protein Cookie Dough Bark starts with a creamy chocolate chip cookie dough base, topped with a crunchy chocolate coating for the most satisfying, healthier treat!
Ingredients
cookie dough
- 1/2 cup of your favorite protein powder *I used Macro Mike Vanilla Buttercream - linked in the notes!
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/3 cup cacao nibs or chocolate chips
chocolate topping
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix together all of the cookie dough ingredients, folding in the cacao nibs/chocolate chips last.
- Press the mixture into a lined cookie sheet or baking dish, about 1/2" thick.
- In a medium bowl, add the chocolate chips. Heat in the microwave, or use the double boiler method, to melt the chocolate chips until smooth. You can add 2 tsp coconut oil to help smooth/thin it out if needed (i usually do this!). It makes the chocolate go futher.
- Spread the chocolate over top of the cookie dough layer. Top with flakey sea salt.
- Place in the freezer for 2-3 hours, until completely firm, before breaking or cutting into pieces.
- Store in an air-tight container in the freezer & enjoy!
