Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Chip Protein Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour, heat treated
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 2–4 tbsp milk of choice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Chocolate Protein Cookie Dough

  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour, heat treated
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup chocolate protein powder
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 2–4 tbsp milk of choice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Funfetti Protein Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour, heat treated
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 2–4 tbsp milk of choice
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Heat the Flour: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the whole wheat flour for 60-90 seconds on high in the microwave. Stir the flour, then heat for another 30 seconds, until the temperature reaches 165°F. This step is crucial to make the raw flour safe to consume. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the appropriate protein powder to the heat-treated flour (and cocoa powder if making the chocolate version). Stir well to combine all dry ingredients evenly.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the pure maple syrup, melted coconut oil, 2 tablespoons of milk of choice, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture thoroughly. If the dough seems dry, gradually add another 1-2 tablespoons of milk and continue stirring until the desired consistency is reached.
  4. Add Mix-ins: Fold in mini chocolate chips for the chocolate chip and chocolate versions, or fold in rainbow sprinkles if making the funfetti variant. Ensure the mix-ins are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Store and Serve: Place the cookie dough into an airtight container and store it in the fridge for 4-5 days. Note that the dough will harden in the fridge, so allow it to come to room temperature before eating. For convenience, you can also portion the dough into individual servings prior to refrigeration.

Notes

  • Heat-treating the whole wheat flour is essential to make it safe for raw consumption.
  • The amount of milk can be adjusted to achieve your preferred dough consistency.
  • Store cookie dough in the refrigerator to maintain freshness, but expect it to harden; bring to room temperature before eating.
  • Individual portioning before refrigeration makes for easy grab-and-go snacks.
  • Use protein powders that suit your dietary preferences and protein needs.
