Healthy Pumpkin Cookie Dough (for one)

Healthy Pumpkin Cookie Dough For One

Serves 1

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup protein powder of choice (I tried a brown rice blend, casein brand and paleo brand)
• 1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour (can substitute for coconut flour or almond flour for paleo version)*
• 1 T + granulated sweetener of choice (optional)**
• 2 T nut butter of choice (I used cashew)
• 1 T pure maple syrup
• 1 T + dairy free milk of choice
• Dairy free chocolate chips or other add-ins of choice (optional)

Instructions

• 1
  In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin, protein powder, flour of choice and sweetener and mix very well.
• 2
  In a small microwave-safe dish or stovetop, melt the nut butter with the maple syrup and add to the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated.
• 3
  Using a tablespoon, add dairy free milk of choice until desired consistency is reached.

Notes

• * Depending on which flour you use, you may not need the dairy free milk
• ** I used sweetened protein powder so omitted. Adjust accordingly
• The longer it sits in the fridge, the thicker it becomes. I love prepping it the night before purely for this reason- I find I don't even need the extra dairy free milk.
• This can be frozen and thawed before consumption.
