There’s no added sugar in this recipe; it’s just sweetened naturally with raisins and the little bit of stevia in my protein powder. And the chopped almonds add a satisfying crunch that complements the soft texture of the oatmeal.
The best part about eating a huge cookie the size of your plate for breakfast is that you make this baby the night before, and you don’t even have to bake it! Just mix the few simple ingredients together, flatten it on your plate, pop it in the fridge, and when you wake up, you’ll be so excited to get your mouth around that chewy, cinnamony cookie!
Notes
I chose raisins and almonds to mix in, but go ahead and get creative with any kind of dried fruit, nut, or, dare I say, even chocolate chips!

1 tablespoon unsweetened soy milk
1 tablespoon raisins
1 tablespoon chopped raw almonds
