Collagen Cookie Dough Bites
/I’ve always been a fan of cookie dough. Chocolate chip cookie dough. THE BEST. I wanted to make a protein bite that was healthy but still fixed that sweet craving too. I love these because they don’t have a weird chalky protein taste and truly taste like actual cookie dough. They contain collagen protein which is good for your gut health, skin, hair, and nails. I also used a mixture of maple syrup and monkfruit so that these bites were the perfect amount of sweet without containing too much sugar. If you have never used monkfruit for baking or other recipes, I highly recommend it. It’s basically as sweet as sugar and can be used as a substitute, but doesn’t contain any actual sugar. These protein bites are so easy, satisfy that sweet tooth, and are perfect for when you want a snack. I hope you love them as much as I do!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 tbsp almond flour
1/4 cup collagen protein (I used vital proteins unflavored collagen)
1 tbsp monkfruit
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp chocolate chips
Directions:
Mix all of the wet ingredients together and set aside.
Mix all of the dry ingredients together, except for the chocolate chips.
Pour the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
Add in the chocolate chips and stir until evenly distributed. Roll into little bite sized balls and place in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to harden. Should make about 10-12 protein bites, depending on how big you make them. Enjoy!
With love,
