Ingredients & Prep

Main Ingredients Prep

  • Protein powder – Vanilla works best, but unflavored also works

  • Nut butter – Peanut butter or almond butter for creaminess

Seasonings, Sauces, or Flavor Base

  • Vanilla extract – Gives classic cookie dough flavor

  • Pinch of salt – Balances sweetness and enhances flavor

Pantry Staples

  • Oat flour – Store-bought or blended rolled oats

  • Maple syrup or honey – Natural sweetness

  • Milk of choice – Almond, oat, or regular milk

  • Mini chocolate chips – The cookie dough classic

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Pre-Cooking Prep

Make sure your oat flour is finely ground. If making your own, blend rolled oats in a blender until smooth. Measure all ingredients so everything comes together quickly.

Cooking Method

In a medium bowl, add oat flour, protein powder, and salt. Stir to combine.

Add nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until smooth and thick. Fold in chocolate chips last.

Doneness or Texture Check

The texture should be soft, creamy, and scoopable—just like classic cookie dough. If it’s too thick, add milk 1 teaspoon at a time. If too thin, add a bit more oat flour.

Resting or Final Touches

Let the dough sit for 1–2 minutes so the oat flour fully absorbs the liquid. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
