Cookie Dough for One

August 17, 2026 Total time: 15 min Makes: 1 serving

Some nights the craving is specifically for cookie dough and nothing else will do, so I keep this ratio memorized. It takes about five minutes, fits in one small bowl, and does not leave a whole batch sitting around tempting me for a week.

Oat flour instead of raw wheat flour and no egg means it is genuinely safe to eat straight from the bowl, which is really the whole point of cookie dough anyway. A splash of milk at the end brings it back together if it looks a little dry.

Tips & swaps

  • PB2 is what keeps this under 150 calories without tasting thin, real peanut butter would add another 80 or so calories for the same amount of flavor.
  • Eat it straight from the bowl with a spoon, or chill 10 minutes if you want a firmer, more scoopable texture.
  • The pinch of baking soda is optional but it is what gives cookie dough that specific tangy flavor you are probably craving, do not skip it if you have it.
  • This is sized for one on purpose and does not keep well overnight, the applesauce makes it weep a little as it sits.
