Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- ½ cup creamy natural peanut butter
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup unflavored protein powder
- 3 tablespoons oat flour
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- Maldon sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips and salt. Using a spatula, mix well until everything is thoroughly combined. The texture should resemble traditional cookie dough, thick yet manageable.
- If you find the mixture is too wet, add another tablespoon of oat flour gradually, mixing until it reaches the right consistency. It should hold well when rolled into balls.
- Once your dough is ready, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture. This adds delightful bursts of sweetness in every bite.
- Now, it’s time to shape the dough! Using a small cookie scoop, grab a portion of the dough and roll it into a ball using your hands. Place the rolled balls onto a plate, ensuring they are spaced about 1 inch apart.
- After rolling out all the dough, sprinkle a touch of Maldon sea salt on top of each ball if desired. This little bit of salt takes the flavor to a whole new level, balancing the sweetness.
- Next, chill the cookie dough bites in the fridge for about 1 hour. This helps them firm up and makes them even more enjoyable to eat.
- Once chilled, you can store the bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Alternatively, they can be frozen for up to 3 months for a longer-lasting treat.
- Whenever you need a quick treat or a boost of energy, simply grab one (or two) from the fridge or freezer and enjoy!
- These bites are not only a fantastic snack but also a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth without the guilt!
- Enjoy your Peanut Butter Protein Cookie Dough Bites anytime you need a delicious boost!
