Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder whey/casein blend recommended
  • 0.5 cup oat flour
  • 0.25 tsp sea salt
Wet Ingredients & Mix-ins
  • 0.33 cup creamy almond butter or cashew butter, must be drippy
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup or honey/sugar-free syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3-5 tbsp almond milk or milk of choice, added gradually
  • 0.33 cup dark chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Spatula or mixing spoon

Method
 

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla protein powder, oat flour, and sea salt until well combined.
  2. Add the creamy almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mash together with a spatula. The mixture will look dry and crumbly.
  3. Add the almond milk exactly one tablespoon at a time, mixing vigorously after each addition.
  4. Continue adding milk until the mixture forms a thick, cohesive, scoopable dough consistency. Do not over-thin.
  5. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Enjoy immediately, or for best texture, chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before eating.

Notes

Plant-based protein powders absorb much more liquid than whey. If using a vegan protein, you may need to double the amount of milk used to reach a dough consistency.
