Vegan Oat Raisin Cookie Protein Bar with Applesauce
Ingredients
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder (64g)*
- ½ cup oat flour (64g), read notes** on how to make at home
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- ½ cup almond butter (128g) , can also use peanut butter
- 5-6 Tbsp applesauce
Add Ins
- ¼ cup raisins , or other dried fruits like dried cranberries or chopped dates
- ⅓ cup old fashioned oats
Instructions
- In a clean bowl, mix the dry ingredients: protein powder, oat flour, and cinnamon powder.
- Next, add in the almond butter and the applesauce, using your hands to knead and get the dough to combine together.NOTE: Add more oat flour if the dough is too soft, add more applesauce if the dough is too thick. TRY TO ADD A TEASPOON AT A TIME! The final dough should be firm, but soft enough that you can roll the dough into a ball without it falling apart.
- Add in the raisins and old fashioned oats
- Shape dough into a rectangular mound, then wrap in plastic wrap or an airtight container
- Let the dough set in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Slice into 6 bars.
- Enjoy!
Notes
*I used Orgain plant-based vanilla protein powder.
**While you can buy oat flour in any major grocery store, you can make your own oatmeal flour by grinding either old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats in a small blender. If you want to keep this strictly gluten-free (some oats are produced in the same facility as wheat), be sure to buy the one with the GF label like this one
