Protein Cookie Dough Bark
This Protein Cookie Dough Bark is made up of a melt-in-your-mouth cookie dough smothered with a rich chocolate ganache coating.
Gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free, this easy snack is sure to satisfy that sweet tooth fix!
I used my favorite clean ingredient and nourishing protein powder from Just Ingredients brand.
No chalky taste, and tastes great in the baked and no bake treats. Code colleenF10 saves you sitewide.

Serves: 10
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Almond Flour
- 1/2 cup Vanilla Protein Powder – use code colleenF10 to save. I LOVE the new french vanilla bone broth protein powder. It’s incredibly nourishing, contains nothing artificial, and is a great option for those of us who can’t tolerate dairy or whey. If you can tolerate it, her french vanilla 100% grass fed whey is a great option, too!
- 1/4 cup Cashew Butter
- 1/4 cup Pure Maple Syrup
- 1/2 Tbsp Coconut Oil, Melted
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chips, Semi-Sweet
- 1/4 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 tsp Coconut Oil
Process
- Combine cookie dough ingredients together, and fold in chocolate chips
- Press down onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
- Melt chocolate chips, coconut oil, and peanut butter together until creamy
- Pour and spread overtop cookie dough
- Top with dyes free chocolate gems and flakey sea salt
- Refrigerate for 2 hours, or freeze at least 45 min
- Slice and enjoy!
- Keep stored in the fridge
Variations for Dietary Preferences
- Cashew butter – can replace with sunbutter or vanilla oat butter like the oat haus brand. You can also use peanut butter for a peanut butter cookie dough flavor
- You can replace the pure maple syrup with honey
- Oat flour will probably work in place of the almond flour since it’s no bake. You may need 1-2 tbsp less since it’s a tad drier.
- If you’d like to replace the protein powder you can replace with oat flour
I love how easy this recipe is for an anytime treat, or make it festive! It was a hit with the kids for Valentines day! I just changed the chocolate gems (YumEarth, Unreal Snacks, and Lakanto are all dye-free brands I like!) and for the Valentines bark I made it peanut butter instead of cashew butter!
