Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- ½ cup (120 g) vanilla protein powder
Base Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120 g) almond flour (or oat flour for a nut-free version)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) almond butter or peanut butter
- ¼ cup (60 ml) maple syrup or honey (adjust for desired sweetness)
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, or regular)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup (40 g) mini chocolate chips (sugar-free or dark chocolate for keto)
Instructions
- Pulverize the dry components in a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly blending rolled oats and protein powder until uniformly integrated.
- Incorporate creamy peanut butter, golden honey, smooth milk, and aromatic vanilla extract into the powdery foundation, stirring meticulously until a cohesive, pliable mixture emerges.
- Assess the dough’s consistency, introducing additional milk droplets if the texture appears overly dense or crumbly, aiming for a supple, moldable composition.
- For enhanced gustatory complexity, gently fold optional embellishments like rich chocolate chips, tangy dried fruit, or crunchy chopped nuts throughout the mixture.
- To optimize flavor development and structural integrity, transfer the prepared dough into a sealed container and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for approximately half an hour.
- When ready to indulge, retrieve the chilled dough and savor immediately, enjoying its cool, creamy texture and protein-packed goodness – no baking required.
Notes
- Customize protein powder choice to match dietary needs, with plant-based or whey options available for different preferences.
- Adjust milk quantity carefully to achieve perfect dough consistency, preventing dry or overly wet texture.
- Control sweetness levels by selecting natural honey alternatives like maple syrup or sugar-free substitutes for health-conscious individuals.
- Experiment with mix-ins like chia seeds, coconut flakes, or almond butter to enhance nutritional profile and create unique flavor combinations.
