These oatmeal raisin protein bars taste like an oatmeal raisin cookie, but are loaded with healthier ingredients and packed with over 14 grams of protein each. They make for a great pre-workout snack or on-the-go breakfast.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with coconut oil or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl stir together oats, almond flour, protein powder, chia seeds, cinnamon and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, applesauce, honey, egg whites and vanilla.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until combined.
Gently stir in raisins.
Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 22-25 minutes until top starts to brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool for 15-20 minutes in the pan.
Once cool, drizzle coconut butter over the top. Cut into bars, remove from pan and place in a storage container. Bars will keep in the fridge for up to one week.
