This Protein Cookie Dough Bark is a delicious, high-protein, vegan, and grain-free snack that mimics the taste of unbaked cookie dough.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (56g) almond flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) protein powder (plain or vanilla)
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup (180g) mini chocolate chips (divided)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup (65g) Organic SunButter
  • 1/4 cup (80g) maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp almond milk as needed
  • 2 tsps coconut oil


Instructions

  1. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, SunButter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture until everything is well incorporated.
  2. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture feels too thick or dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of almond milk to achieve a soft, pliable dough consistency suitable for spreading.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in 1/2 cup of the mini chocolate chips into the dough mixture evenly.
  4. Shape the Dough Layer: Press the cookie dough mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it evenly into a thin layer, roughly rectangular or square, depending on preference.
  5. Melt Remaining Chocolate Chips: In a small pan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips together with 2 teaspoons of coconut oil until smooth and glossy.
  6. Top the Dough with Melted Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cookie dough layer and use a spatula to spread it out almost to the edges for an even chocolate topping.
  7. Refrigerate to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours to allow the bark to firm up completely.
  8. Cut and Store: After chilling, break the bark into approximately 12 even-sized pieces. Store the pieces in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
