These tasty little protein cookies are, in my opinion, even better than the chocolate almond bites I posted the other day. I’m a big fan of oatmeal rasin cookies to begin with, so making them over into a healthy cookie packed with protein was sure to be a hit =) The only comment from the peanut gallery (Yes, that’s you dad! ;) ), besides that they were tasty, was that they were lacking chocolate chips. =P These are incredibly tasty and very easy to make… Not to mention sugar free and with only healthy fats! (AND made with white beans, which add a ton of extra protein!)
Oatmeal Raisin Protein Cookies
In the blender or food processor puree:
- 1 14.5 oz can of Great Northern Beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 TB Raw Honey
- 1.5 TB Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
- 1 teaspoon (to taste) Stevia
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
- Dash nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 teaspoon Molasses
- 1 Egg
- 1 TB Ground Flaxseed
- 1 TB Ground Chia Seed
Scrape contents of blender into a medium sized bowl and mix in by hand:
- 1c. Oat Flour (grind oats in a coffee grinder, cleaned of course! =) )
- 1/4c. Peanut Flour
Then stir in:
- 1/3c. Walnut Peices
- 1/2c. Raisins
Form the batter, which should be quite firm, into small balls. (1-2 TB size?) If you like, roll them in Sesame Seeds and or Chia Seeds. Roll them in the seeds, then in your palm to make them stick. Bake at 350 degrees for about 12-14 minutes, until the cookies start to crack just a little and have a dry exterior. Break one open if you need to, to check the doneness.
Coming next: A healthy coconut custard pie!
