Oatmeal raisin cookies have always been one of my favorites. The funny thing is that before I knew much about healthy eating I thought they were a healthy treat. Raisins = healthy, right? Kind of similar to the high-school me thinking that tortilla chips where healthier than potato chips. I’ve come a long way folks!

That said, I still crave oatmeal raisin cookies every once in a while and I have found that you can indeed make them healthier just by swapping a few ingredients. And that’s exactly what I did to come up with this recipe for Oatmeal Raisin Protein Cookies.

These little guys have all the flavor of regular oatmeal raisin cookies, but without any processed sugar or flour. They also have a scoop of protein powder to amp up the protein. They’re vegan, gluten-free, portable and healthy enough to eat for breakfast. Cookies for breakfast = yes, please!

I won’t be posting the recipe here because it was created for a guest post on Protein Pow so head on over and check it out.  And definitely do a little exploring while you’re there because Protein Pow is packed with awesome info and recipes! It’s literally a go-to guide for all things protein. From protein pizza to protein bread and protein chocolate. You name it, there’s a protein version of it on Protein Pow. Plus, the lady behind the blog, Anna, is an absolute sweetheart so you’re gonna want to follow her on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook too!
