DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil, spray with cooking spray, and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond butter, maple syrup, egg whites, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the oats, flour, whey isolate, xylitol, baking soda, and cinnamon. Stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture, a little at a time, then add the raisins.
- Form a cookie with about three tablespoons of batter. Place each cookie onto the baking sheet at least 1 inch apart. Repeat this process until 12 cookies are made.
- Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes, or until center of cookie is cooked through.
