Ingredients
- 3/4 cup almond or cashew butter
- 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1/4 cup almond flour *more as needed
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup cacao powder
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 2-4 tbsp milk, of choice *as needed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Note: Different protein powders create different textures. Add more almond flour/milk as needed.
- Add all ingredients to a large bowl, mixing well until dough forms.
- If your mixture is too dry, add in 1 tbsp of milk extra at a time, until it creates a dough that sticks together but isn't sticky to your fingers. You'll want it to be the texture of edible cookie dough!
- Taste & adjust as needed (more maple, sea salt, etc). Fold in the chocolate chips & nuts, if using.
- Use a cookie scoop or roll into balls & place in the freezer to firm up!
- You can also dunk them in melted chocolate & top with sea salt if you’re feeling extra fancy!
Notes
Store in the freezer and allow to thaw a few minutes before enjoying!
