Ok, let me preface with this...these are gluten free, dairy free and free of added sugar. In cookieland, that means that the chances of a choir of Angels breaking out in song when you take a bite are slim. If you're feeling rebellious, you could add a touch of brown sugar (2T) or a drizzle of maple syrup to kick them up a notch.
That said, they aren't bad. They taste a lot like baked oatmeal and pack a healthy punch of protein and fiber, while being a heck of a lot faster to grab than a bowl of oatmeal.
Now, on to the recipe...
Ingredients:
1 1/2 C Rolled Oats
1/4C Sliced Almonds
2 Scoops Vanilla Protein Powder (I use Orgain brand's vegan vanilla)

1/2t Salt
1 Apple (Medium, diced)
1/2 C Unsweetened Apple
