Soft and chewy oatmeal raisin cookies with 19g protein make for a satisfying, macro-friendly snack that hits all the right notes. Packed with high-quality protein, these cookies support muscle recovery and keep you energized throughout the day, making them perfect for post-workout refueling or a nutritious midday treat. The cinnamon-spiced aroma combined with tender oats and sweet raisins creates a delightful balance of flavors and textures—crispy edges give way to a chewy, hearty center that’s both comforting and indulgent. Rich in fiber, they aid digestion and promote sustained fullness, helping you stay on track with your health goals. For best results, use a combination of rolled oats and protein powder to ensure the perfect chewy texture and balanced macros. They’re naturally gluten-free if you opt for certified gluten-free oats, and vegan versions can be easily made with plant-based protein and dairy-free sweeteners. These cookies are ideal for meal prep, allowing you to grab a wholesome snack anytime, whether as a quick breakfast or a nourishing afternoon pick-me-up. Enjoy them warm from the oven or stored in an airtight container for a convenient, delicious way to boost your protein intake while satisfying your sweet tooth.

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In another bowl, whisk together applesauce, maple syrup, and egg.
Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until combined. Fold in raisins.
Drop rounded tablespoons onto the baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden.
Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
TROUBLESHOOTING
My cookies are too dry
Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.
They didn't rise properly
Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.
The texture is rubbery
This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
