Do you love oatmeal raisin cookies?

Yes? Well, now you can have them for breakfast. These cookies are soft, delicious and a balanced clean recipe.

I came up with this recipe because I took some gluten free oatmeal cookies into the gym and shared it with the other athletes. I was asked over and over if they were healthy. While they were gluten free and I made them with clean ingredients, they contained M&M’s, chocolate morsels and were meant for a dessert and not a healthy treat.

All those questions got me thinking that I needed to come up with a good for you protein packed cookie recipe. I mean I needed to, cause right oatmeal cookie.

These cookies are soft, dense and filling. The peanut butter, egg, oatmeal, almond flour and protein powder give these cookies their protein, and the maple syrup sweetens them up. Superfood Peanut Butter Protein Breakfast Cookies Recipe perfect for breakfast or after workout | ahealthylifeforme.com

These are super simple to prepare all you need is two bowls, a baking sheet, and some measuring cups and spoons. Add all wet ingredients in layers and whisk as you add each layer.

Then dump in the dry ingredients and mix. The batter is very thick and you almost need to mash everything to get it to mix together well. Add the raisins and cocoa nibs, and continue with the mixing until blended well.

I decided to make these into large cookies. These are almost 1/4 cup in size. once smashed down the cookies should be about 3″ round.  You can push in additional raisins into each cookie if you love raisins.  I love raisins so a few got jammed into a cookie or two before I sent them into the oven to bake.

    These look nice! I don’t have protein powder – can this be left out or substituted? Thanks!

    I used a vegetable based protein powder since it was what I had and following the rest of the recipe to the letter. I plugged all the ingredients/quantities into a nutrition calculator which showed each cookie had 150 calories (5.8 g fat, 23.7 g carbs, 4.3 g protein) . The cookies tasted great and certainly are better than a “sweet” cookie; however, I don’t really consider these to be “high” protein. Will see how the numbers look when I get a whey protein powder. Thanks for the recipe!
