The Best High-Protein Edible Cookie Dough Recipe You Can Eat While Still Losing Weight

Embarking on a weight loss journey often involves making mindful choices about what we eat. While desserts are typically associated with indulgence and weight gain, there is a growing awareness that not all sweet treats are created equal. One such innovative approach to healthy indulgence is the emergence of high-protein desserts. These desserts are crafted to satisfy sweet cravings while aligning with weight loss goals.

TikTok creator Claire Hodgins (@clairehodginss), who boasts over 430K followers on the app and creates healthy high-protein recipes, shared a high protein cookie dough recipe that is loaded with 30g of protein.

To make this delicious high-protein treat, Hodgins starts by blending oats into oat flour in her nutribullet. She then adds that to a bowl with vanilla protein powder, your choice of sweetener, baking soda, and salt. Mix those ingredients and then add some milk. Once you get a thick cookie dough consistency, stir in chocolate chips and that’s it!

Oats are a rich source of fiber, which promotes a feeling of fullness and helps control appetite. The inclusion of oat flour in the recipe adds a complex carbohydrate element that is digested more slowly, providing sustained energy and reducing the likelihood of energy crashes, which can contribute to overeating.

Protein is a crucial component in any weight loss journey. It enhances satiety, meaning it helps you feel full for longer periods.
