These chocolate chip cookie dough protein balls are a quick, no-bake snack that tastes just like classic cookie dough but with a healthy twist. Packed with protein and wholesome ingredients, they’re perfect for guilt-free snacking any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 cup natural almond butter
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2–3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/3 cup mini dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional: chia seeds or flaxseed meal
  • Optional: unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Measure out all ingredients and have them ready.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir together almond flour, oat flour, vanilla protein powder, and sea salt. Whisk to break up any lumps.
  3. Add almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons almond milk. Fold together with a spatula. If too dry, add another tablespoon almond milk.
  4. Gently fold in mini dark chocolate chips and any optional add-ins.
  5. Check consistency: dough should be soft and slightly sticky but not wet. Adjust with more milk or oat flour as needed.
  6. Portion dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a lined baking sheet or plate.
  7. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or 15 minutes in the freezer).
  8. Serve chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

If your protein powder is dry, add more almond milk. For nut-free, use sunflower seed flour and sunflower butter. Use certified gluten-free oat flour for gluten-free needs. Chilling is key for texture. Double the batch and freeze for future snacking.
