No bake Oatmeal Raisin Protein Bites

Hannah Lucio

My husband and I absolutely loves Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I was about to make my normal Healthy No-bake Energy Bites and Simple To Make and thought….hmm maybe I can try to make a different version that everyone would love. Ya’ll!! They are SO good! They taste like oatmeal raisin cookie dough. De-licious!! I really hope you get to try them and let me know how you like them.

So I started out with the typical Oatmeal, peanut butter, flaxseed, honey, vanilla but this time I added; raisins and cinnamon. This time around I did not add a lot of cinnamon because I’ve done that before in recipes and it was not good. So to keep it on the “safe side” I added just enough. You can also tweak the recipe if you like more raisins and cinnamon. Oh and next time I’ll add my typical walnuts, I am out of those currently.

Ingredients: 

1 cup Oatmeal

1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter (smooth this time) 

1/2 cup Flaxseed

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/3 cup Organic Honey

2 tsp Vanilla

1/2 cup Organic Raisins

1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon 

Directions:

Put all ingredients in a food processor (I use a Ninja) and mix together. You’ll probably have to stop the mixer to scrap the sides to get it completely mixed together.

Once all mixed together, put it in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes and then form them into little bites. 

I store them in a glass container and leave them in the fridge until I eat them. 
Enjoy!!

The best Oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookie recipe

Hannah Lucio

I have been searching for a really good oatmeal raisin cookie recipe and I finally found it….but added a few things. I hope you make these and enjoy them as much as our family is. 

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

2 tsp cinnamon

1 cup unsalted butter (I leave mine on the counter all night or during the day to naturally soften)

1 cup sugar

1 cup dark brown sugar, firmly pressed

2 large eggs

2 tsp vanilla (sometimes I add 3 tsp, more the better )

3 cups oats (regular oats not instant)

1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

1 1/2 cup raisins
Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix together; butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla. 

Whisk together; flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon and add to wet ingredients. To help the flour from being over mixed I mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a wooden spoon. If you mix the flour ingredients to much it will make the cookies flat and harder. 

Add chocolate chips, oatmeal and raisins. Mix slowly and not to much. 

Use a cookie scoop to on baking sheet. I have three different sized cookie sheets and on the biggest one I have 3 cookies across and 5 cookies down. 

Cook for 12-14 minutes. Since I put in 3 baking sheets I rotate the cookie sheets so the cookies cook evenly. 

Take out, place on a cooling rack and try not to eat to many ha ha
