Gingerbread Protein Fudge is a no-bake, spiced, and protein-rich dessert that delivers all the cozy flavors of classic gingerbread in a smooth, creamy fudge. Perfect for holidays or anytime you want a festive, healthy treat.

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  2. 1/2 cup almond butter or cashew butter
  3. 1/4 cup coconut oil or butter
  4. 2 tbsp molasses
  5. 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  6. 1 tsp ground ginger
  7. 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  8. 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  9. 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  10. 1 tsp vanilla extract
  11. Pinch of salt
  12. Optional: chopped nuts, white chocolate chips, or crushed ginger cookies for topping

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine protein powder with ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.

  1. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt almond butter, coconut oil, molasses, and maple syrup until smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined into a thick, smooth dough.
  4. Line a small loaf pan or square container with parchment paper.
  5. Press the mixture firmly into the pan in an even layer.
  6. Add toppings like chopped nuts or white chocolate chips if desired.
  7. Chill in the freezer for about 30 minutes or until set.
  8. Remove from the pan and slice into squares.
  9. Store chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  1. For a vegan version, use maple syrup and plant-based protein powder.
  2. Nut-free option: use sunflower seed butter or tahini.
  3. To lower sugar, use sugar-free maple syrup or omit molasses.
  4. Keep chilled for best texture as fudge will soften at room temperature.
