Apple Cinnamon Raisin Oat Breakfast Cookies
These cookies are soft, chewy, and will nourish your soul! They are one of my favorites go-to recipes in the fall. I have them for breakfast, snacks, or pre/post workouts.
You can substitute the apple/cinnamon/raisin for other flavor combos. My favorites are coconut/cacao powder/sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds and cranberries. Play around with different options that fit your macros. Different protein powders vary in texture and taste, which heavily impact the recipe. DO NOT BAKE WITH BROWN RICE PROTEIN! Pea protein yields better texture. The mixture should be moist, yet hold together. If the mix is too thin, add more protein or oats. If it’s too thick, add more applesauce or 1-2 tablespoons of plant-based milk.
The most important part of this recipe is that you enjoy making it and experiment with them a few times until you find the right texture and taste that makes you happy.
