PROTEIN COOKIE DOUGH CUPS (VEGAN & GLUTEN-FREE)
My current cookie dough obsession continues! I recently posted these cookie dough bars and they seemed to go down a treat with you guys, so I decided to go back to the kitchen and whip up another cookie dough creation for you. This time with added protein 😀
I try to make sure I consume enough protein throughout the day, which can sometimes be a struggle when trying to avoid meat and animal products. I ALWAYS add protein powder to my breakfast, whether that be in my smoothies, nicecream, overnight oats, porridge or chia pudding. I get the most awful blood sugar crashes between breakfast and lunch and need protein to help keep my blood sugar levels steady. Vegan breakfasts can so easily be high in carbs with very little protein and fat, potentially giving you a sugar boost, followed by a crash, which is exactly what I find.
So protein powder is a staple in my house, I always make sure I have a tub/bag of some sort of plant-based protein to add to breakfast and snacks if I feel I’m struggling to hit my daily protein requirement. I also love using flavoured protein powder in treats. It’s a good way to replace some of the flour and sugar you need to use making it a bit healthier and less sugary.

Ingredients
- 50g oat flour – plain oats ground into a flour in the food processor. Use gluten-free oats if necessary.
- 50g Free Soul vegan vanilla protein powder
- 5 tbsp almond butter
- 4 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 50g dairy-free chocolate chips
- 250g dark chocolate – I used 85% cocoa chocolate
Method
- Start off by making the protein cookie dough layer – mix the protein powder and oat flour in a bowl, then add in the almond butter and coconut oil. Mix to combine, then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Melt the chocolate – break up the chocolate into a heatproof bowl. You can either melt it in the microwave on high, stirring every few seconds to make sure it doesn’t burn. Alternatively you can use a double boiler method by placing the bowl of chocolate over a pan of simmering water (making sure the base of the bowl doesn’t touch the water). Stir until completely melted, then carefully remove from the heat.
