  3. Cinnamon Raisin Cookie: In a large bowl, place oats, cashew butter, honey, protein powder, raisins, and cinnamon. Stir then knead by hand to bring the crumbly mixture together. Form into balls using a cookie scoop. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator or freezer.
  4. Tahini Chocolate Chip: Combine oats, tahini, honey, protein powder, and mini chocolate chips in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly, kneading with your hands until smooth and uniform. Scoop into balls using a small cookie scoop. Keep stored covered in the fridge or freezer.

Notes
