Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup oat flour (you can make this by blending rolled oats until fine)
  • 1/2 cup unflavored or vanilla protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based all work well)
  • 1/4 cup erythritol or your preferred granulated sugar substitute
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or other milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional, for that classic cookie dough feel)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (optional, for added texture and healthy fats)

Equipment

  • Medium-sized mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, granulated sugar substitute, and salt. Ensure these ingredients are thoroughly combined to prevent clumps.
    1 cup oat flour, 1/2 cup unflavored or vanilla protein powder, 1/4 cup erythritol or your preferred granulated sugar substitute, 1/4 teaspoon salt
  2. Pour the melted coconut oil (or butter), unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
    2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or unsalted butter, 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or other milk of choice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  3. Using a spoon or spatula, begin to mix the ingredients together. Continue stirring until a cohesive dough starts to form. If the dough seems too dry and crumbly, add another teaspoon of almond milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. If it’s too wet, add a teaspoon of oat flour.
  4. Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
    1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon chopped nuts
  5. Before chilling, take a small taste of the dough. If you prefer it sweeter, you can mix in a little more sugar substitute.
    1/4 cup erythritol or your preferred granulated sugar substitute
  6. For the best texture and flavor, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.

Notes

Your Guilt Free Protein Cookie Dough can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The dough may firm up slightly in the fridge, which is perfectly normal and can be a desirable texture for some. You can also freeze pre-portioned amounts of the cookie dough in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying. Because this is a no-bake recipe, reheating is not recommended; enjoy it chilled or at room temperature for the best quality.
