Notes

  • Any nut butter will work for the cookie dough balls. So, use what you have on hand or try new nut butters to switch up the flavor!
  • Do not confuse almond flour with almond meal. Almond meal is ground almonds and will alter the texture of the balls.
  • you can eat this cookie dough as-is off a spoon, rolled into bites/balls, or firm them up in the fridge for pop-in-your-mouth snacks.
  • the type of protein powder you choose will affect the texture and the flavor of the recipe
  • Check out my three favorite protein powders and know that the fermented ones absorb liquid more. If using a non-pea protein powder, scale the coconut oil back by one tablespoon or so
  • One serving is two balls
  • Note: a reader used whey protein + butter (in place of the coconut oil) and said they turned out great. If you're a dairy lover, that's an option!
