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

  1. 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!
  2. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the molasses and almond milk until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix using a spatula or your hands until it comes together into a cohesive dough.
  4. Add the Fun Stuff: Fold in those chocolate chunks (or dried fruits if that’s your jam).
  5. Taste Test!: Sneak a bite and adjust the sweetness if needed.
  6. Chill or Dive Right In: Scoop into bite-sized balls or chill for about 30 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

This dough can be frozen; just scoop into balls and store in a freezer-safe container.
