Protein Cookie Recipe

Protein Cookie Recipe
(Makes about 3 doz.)

2 1/2 C Rolled Oats (I used quick)
1/4 C Toasted Pumpkin Seeds
1/2 Cup Raw Pumpkin Seeds
1/2 C Raisins (I used yellow)
1/4 C Very finely chopped Almonds
2 Tbs sunflower seeds (I used raw unsalted)
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 C. Almond Butter or Peanut Butter (Natural is more Healthy :)
1/3 C. plus 1 Tbs Honey
2 Tbs Molasses (Original recipe called for Barley Malt Syrup)
1 tsp Vanilla

*Grind 1/2 C of the Oats and the Toasted pumpkin seeds in a food processor until powdery (kinda flour like). SET ASIDE

*In a large bowl hand mix and combine remaining oats and other dry ingredients (pumpkin seeds, raisins, almonds, sunflower seeds and cinnamon.

*Mix in Peanut Butter, Honey, Molasses, and vanilla until a soft dough forms.

*Get a little bowl of water to wet your palms as you roll each cookie in a ball. about 1" in diameter. The water helps it all come together.

*Then roll it in the oats & sunflower mixture.

*I store them in a ziplock in the fridge.

**Note: If your kids don't like raisins you can do chocolate chips or leave the raisins out.
