These no-bake peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough protein truffles are a healthy, protein-packed treat that tastes just like classic cookie dough. Quick to make and perfect for snacking, they’re gluten-free friendly, customizable, and ideal for busy days or post-workout fuel.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (or quick oats, certified gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter (unsweetened and unsalted)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark, dairy-free if needed)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy, as needed)

Instructions

  1. Blend the oats in a blender or food processor until they form a fine, flour-like consistency.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Add the blended oat flour, protein powder, and sea salt to the wet mixture. Stir until mostly combined (the dough will look crumbly).
  4. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, stirring after each addition, until the dough holds together and has a soft, cookie dough-like texture.
  5. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion and roll the dough into balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each). Place on a baking sheet or plate.
  7. Optional: Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
  8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

For a vegan version, use maple syrup and plant-based protein powder with dairy-free chocolate chips. If the dough is too dry, add a splash more milk; if too sticky, add a bit more oat flour. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed. Store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage. Roll in crushed peanuts or coconut for extra texture.
