Ingredients

1/4 cup SunButter No Sugar Added
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch sea salt
1 cup almond flour
20 grams whey protein powder unflavored/unsweetened

Chocolate Topping

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
flaky sea salt optional, to top

Instructions

Into a mixing bowl, add in the SunButter, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, and sea salt. Mix together well.
Add the almond butter and protein powder, and stir well to combine. The mixture will be very thick and crumbly. If it’s too thick to stick together when pressed into a ball, add an additional 1/2 T of coconut oil or maple syrup.
Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
Add the cookie dough to a large sheet of parchment paper, folding the parchment in half to cover the top. Use a rolling pin to roll out the cookie dough into a rectangular shape. Cut off the top layer of parchment.
Freeze the cookie dough bark for about 1 hour to full set. Break the cookie dough bark into pieces, and then store the frozen protein cookie dough in the freezer to keep it’s snappy texture.

Notes

How to Store Leftover Cookie Dough Bark

Once the bark has frozen and been broken into pieces, store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 6 months.

I do not recommend storing cookie dough bark at room temperature. The frozen coconut oil is what holds it together and keeps it from crumbling!

Variations

Make this Lower in Carbs/Sugar: Use sugar free maple syrup and chocolate chips. I recommend the ChocZero brand of both!

White Chocolate Cookie Dough Bark: If you love white chocolate, consider making this with sugar free ChocZero White Chocolate.

Add Nuts: This is awesome with chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds. To ensure the cookie dough can be rolled out in an even layer, add the nuts to the top of the melted chocolate layer rather than into the cookie dough itself.
