Ingredients in Protein Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

This edible protein chocolate chip cookie dough is completely eggless, and it’s made without protein powder! We’re going to get the doughy texture by combining oat flour and Greek yogurt. Here’s exactly what you’ll need for this recipe:

• Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is necessary because its consistency will become firm, binding the oat flour and sugar together to give you a creamy cookie dough.
• Quick oats: We’re going to blend the oats to make our own oat flour. You can buy it but I really don’t think it’s necessary since it’s so easy to just blend oats!
• Sugar: You could substitute with any sweetener of choice, such as stevia, maple syrup, or honey.
• Vanilla extract: A little goes a long way. It adds a nice fragrance and sweetness to flavor your cookie dough!
• Chocolate chips: Use whatever chocolate chips you love. I’d recommend semi-sweet to contrast against the color of the dough, but go ahead and use whatever chocolate chips you have available to you and what you’re craving! White chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips would be absolutely delicious!

What’s great about this cookie dough recipe is that we don’t have to worry about cooking off the flour since we’re using oat flour! You can make this cookie dough quite literally whenever you’ve got the craving! That could be a good or dangerous thing, haha! But let’s get into the method!

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt and oat flour and mix well. Add the sugar and vanilla extract and mix. If you want the dough to be sweeter, gradually add your sweetener until you have the desired sweetness.

2. Add half the chocolate chips and mix well. Use a scoop to transfer scoopfuls in a bowl, top with rest of the chocolate chips and sprinkles. Either refrigerate for later or enjoy immediately!
