Protein Cookie Dough Cups
Chocolate chip cookie dough is definitely one of my favorite treats! There is no shame in enjoying regular edible cookie dough. However, I wanted to make a recipe that is high in protein, healthy fats, and lower in sugar for a more balanced option. These cookie dough cups are dairy, grain, gluten, and refined sugar-free and taste fabulous! They also have a rich and decadent chocolate ganache layer that makes them next level!
Equipment
- 12 muffin cups(silicone is best)
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup raw cashew or almond butter
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 cups dairy free chocolate chips
- 6 tbsp coconut cream(full fat from the can
- Sea salt flakes
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the cashew butter, almond flour, protein powder, and maple syrup.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips. Then, add the cookie dough mixture to 12 silicone muffin cups.
- In a pan over low heat, melt the coconut cream and the remaining 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips.
- When everything is melted together, take the pan off of the heat and then pour evenly over top the cookie dough cups.
- Place cookie dough cups in the fridge to set for a couple of hours.
- Sprinkle some sea slat in top when ready to eat and enjoy!
