🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First things first, lets grab a big bowl and toss in the oat flour, protein powder, and baking powder. Give it a good mix to make sure everything's combined evenly.
- Now, in a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract. This wet mixture is gonna bring everything together beautifully.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Don't overmix it; just enough to combine everything. Some lumps are fine!
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips. I like to use mini chocolate chips because they distribute more evenly, but hey, use whatever makes your heart sing.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the dough firm up and makes it easier to handle.
- While the dough is chilling, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents the bites from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Keep a close eye on them; you want them to be slightly golden around the edges.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the protein bites cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Its important to let them cool properly.
- Store the protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This helps them stay fresh and delicious for longer. Although I doubt theyll last long!
- And thats it! Enjoy your delicious and guilt-free Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Craving bites! I like sprinkling mine with sea salt.
📝 Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
- If the dough is too dry, add a little more almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- For a vegan option, ensure your protein powder is plant-based.
