Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (or dairy free chocolate chips)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add pumpkin puree, maple syrup, coconut flour, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, and mini chocolate chips. Mix everything together until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and form a dough-like consistency.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. This chilling step helps the mixture to firm up, enhancing the texture and flavor.
  3. Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, serve the pumpkin protein cookie dough as a dip with apples or fresh fruit, or simply enjoy it straight from the jar as a healthy snack or dessert.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave nectar for different sweetness options.
  • For a vegan version, use a plant-based protein powder and dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • If the dough is too soft, add a little more coconut flour to reach desired consistency.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
