Serves: 12 bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup protein powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup of protein powder, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1/4 cup of chocolate chips, and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and protein powder. Use a whisk to mix them together until they are evenly blended.
- Add the maple syrup to the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture with a spatula or spoon until the syrup is fully incorporated and the mixture becomes dough-like.
- Sprinkle in the sea salt and fold it into the dough, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are well dispersed in the dough.
- Once the dough is mixed, use your hands to form small balls, about the size of a tablespoon, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
- After forming all the bites, you can chill them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to help them firm up, but this step is optional.
- Once chilled, your Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bites are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Tips
- Use room temperature maple syrup for easier mixing and better dough consistency.
- For a smoother texture, sift your almond flour and protein powder together before mixing.
- If the dough feels too dry, add a tiny bit more maple syrup; if too wet, sprinkle in a bit more almond flour.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate chips for a more intense flavor and added antioxidants.
- Chill the bites for a firmer texture, especially if you prefer a more solid, less sticky snack.
- Roll the bites between slightly damp hands to prevent sticking and create smooth, uniform shapes.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer preservation.
