Description
A delightful, protein-packed twist on classic gingerbread cookie dough perfect for any cozy occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, protein powder, coconut sugar, spices (ginger, cinnamon, cloves), and salt. Whisk them together until they’re well combined; we want no lumps here!
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the molasses and almond milk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix using a spatula or your hands until it comes together into a cohesive dough.
- Add the Fun Stuff: Fold in those chocolate chunks (or dried fruits if that’s your jam).
- Taste Test!: Sneak a bite and adjust the sweetness if needed.
- Chill or Dive Right In: Scoop into bite-sized balls or chill for about 30 minutes before enjoying.
