Enjoying Food: Protein Cookie Dough

3/11/2015

Today is a special day! I don't usually do this, but I am posting a GUEST RECIPE! This recipe comes from my dear friend Theresa (IG: @Baking_And_Bikinis - you MUST follow her, amazing IIFYM account and such an awesome person)! I only do this if I think a recipe is totally life-altering and this one is! Thank you so much to Theresa for being today's guest macro chef! You rock!

This cookie dough is seriously AMAZING. The taste and consistency is spot on with the real thing, but way better macros and it makes for an awesome pre or post workout treat! I mean, why drink a protein shake when you can eat it as cookie dough right??

PROTEIN COOKIE DOUGH
392 kcal -- 12F/38C/33P
Picture
Ingredients:
- 1 scoop protein powder (I used trutein cinnabun)
- 2 tbsp (14g) coconut flour
- 2 tbsp (12g) PB2
- 2 tbsp (70g) mini chocolate chips
-  stevia to taste
- 2 tbsp apple sauce or pumpkin
- 2 tbsp almond milk or cashew milk
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients in a bowl except for almond milk and apple sauce/pumpkin.
2. Place apple sauce/pumpkin and almond milk in a separate small bowl and stir.
3. GENTLY mix the liquid mixture (using your hands may be easier than a spoon because it will become a dough) into the dry ingredients until it becomes a dough consistency. You may need to add slightly more apple sauce/pumpkin and almond milk mixture depending on the type of protein powder you use.
4. Form dough into a ball (or mini-balls), wrap it with saran wrap, and refrigerate 6 hours. Enjoy!

Hey, I was wondering if this would work with oat flour also?

Just made this in 5 minutes before work for my late night sweet fix. So easy and delicious (can't ever wait until things cool or are refrigerated!). Best protein cookie dough recipe I've tried... no garbanzo beans! I used egg white protein, pumpkin, chocolate PB2 and added just a splash of butter extract. Can't wait until tonight! Thanks for the recipe!

Likely a silly question, but are the macro counts listed for the whole recipe or for one ball/serving? Just starting to count my macros and figuring it all out! Thanks!

Hey! I made this today and I was just wondering why mine looks more orange/moist. Yours seems to have a much better color and crumbly consistency! Any tips/tricks?

Hi! The macro count is that for one ball? and how many does the recipe typically make?

Just based on the ingredients in the recipe, those macros have to be for the entire recipe, not just one ball. There's only one scoop of protein so there's no way each small ball would have over 30g of protein, so eat them all! This recipe looks delicious and so excited there's no beans in it!

Hi, I want to make this but have a couple questions. 1. it says one scoop protein powder. My protein powders all have different sized scoops. Can you tell me how many grams?
2. it says 2 scoops PB2 same question, how many grams?
3. approximately how much stevia do you use?

Thanks
