Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup oat flour (blended rolled oats)
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup creamy almond butter or peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (as needed)
- 1/3 cup mini dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, and salt. Ensure there are no large clumps of protein powder so the texture remains smooth.
- Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients. Add the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir well with a spatula or wooden spoon until a thick, crumbly dough begins to form.
- Step 3: Adjust Consistency. Add the almond milk one tablespoon at a time. Mix after each addition until the dough reaches a consistency that is moist enough to hold together but not sticky. You want it to feel like traditional cookie dough.
- Step 4: Fold in Chocolate Chips. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula. Distribute them evenly throughout the dough so every bite has plenty of chocolate.
- Step 5: Roll into Balls. Scoop about one tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball. Repeat this process until all the dough is used, which should yield about 12 balls.
- Step 6: Chill and Set. Place the balls on a plate or in a container lined with parchment paper. Let them chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before eating.
