Don’t be a fool. Just because these dessert-anytime treats aren’t loaded with raisins and flat like a “normal” oatmeal cookie doesn’t mean they aren’t as good as Grandma’s recipe. Plus, you can always add raisins and shape the dough into mini-frisbees before baking.
I’m pretty sure the definition of “homestyle baking” is owning the fact that it’s your home and your style. Get creative in the kitchen by using your favorite protein powder, omitting the protein completely or swapping the almond flour for oat flour. Kick it up a notch by blending raw oats and making your own oat flour. Bam!
