Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein BallsOur recipe is a spin on Pinch Me Good’s Protein Cookie Dough Bites, which is a gluten-free recipe that takes only 10 minutes to put together. You can personalize this recipe in a number of ways. If you aren’t concerned with gluten, you can use any type of flour you like, though the almond flour does give a nice warm nutty taste to the recipe. Coconut flour also works well for this recipe as a more hypoallergenic alternative to nut-based flour. As always, the type of milk you use is totally up to you and your personal preference. Both plant-based and traditional dairy milks can be used in this recipe; although, if you plan to serve these at room temperature, dairy-free milk will make the protein balls a bit more stable outside of the refrigerator. Normally, with a number of other recipes, you can substitute honey or brown sugar for maple syrup, but for this one, it’s best to use the maple syrup as it plays a role in the consistency and adhesion of the protein balls making sure they taste like cookie dough without any potentially harmful raw eggs. However, you can feel free to use whatever type of chocolate chips you like best. For an extra bump of protein and a fun flavor twist, you can add in a teaspoon of peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, or your favorite nut butter. You can also experiment with the flavor of protein powder you use to add some variation to the recipe without adding new ingredients that may disrupt the consistency. Once they are rolled into balls, you can even dip them in melted chocolate, sprinkles, or powdered sugar for an added wow factor. Ingredients:
