It’s birthday week in my little world which means I want to celebrate with you!
I am sure that by now you have realized that I am absolutely obsessed with Skoop B-STRONG plant-based protein powder. So, you can just imagine my excitement when my friends at Healthy Skoop were kind enough to allow me to run this birthday giveaway!
One reader will receive a big bag of Skoop B-STRONG Viva-Nilla (plus Skoop BlenderBottle!).
Skoop’s B-Strong is my new favorite addition to not only my morning bowls of oatmeal but also my new oatmeal raisin chocolate chip protein cookie recipe.
I decided to rework my famous oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookie recipe to see if Skoop B-STRONG could be used in place of the flour.
I didn’t realize I would be creating, on the first try mind you, one of the best cookie recipes ever which, by the way, we can consider a healthy cookie.
I still can’t get over how terrific these oatmeal raisin chocolate chip protein cookies came out on the first try. I have made them a few times since the original batch, tweaking absolutely nothing because they are simply perfect.
Made with old-fashioned rolled oats, coconut oil and a real small amount of coconut sugar, the chewy texture you expect from an oatmeal raisin cookie is present within one bite.
That cinnamony-raisin flavor is taken to another level when combined with the little bits of chocolate and the addition of vanilla from Skoop.
These oatmeal raisin chocolate chip protein cookies are gluten-free if you use gluten-free rolled oats. They are also dairy-free if you use nondairy chocolate.
I love these cookies and can’t wait for you to love them too!
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if necessary)
- 1 scoop Skoop B-Strong Viva-Nilla
- 1 organic egg
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips*
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Mix coconut oil and sugar in a bowl until well combined.
- Add egg and vanilla, mixing well.
- Mix in oats, Skoop, cinnamon and baking soda, mixing until well combined.
- Add in raisins and chocolate chips, mixing only until evenly distributed.
- Form balls with the dough and arrange on greased cookie sheet (or use Reynold’s liners), pressing the centers of dough down slightly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Cool on wire rack.
- Store in airtight container. Cookies may be refrigerated or frozen.
Giveaway time!

Woooohoooo birthday week! That means LOTS of cake!!!! By the way, I forgot to tell you, I had my first trip to red mango the other day, and I got ALL fruit and granola as my topping, I was SO proud…..ok, confession, I did add white chico chips, but thats it!!!! These cookies sound delicious, and healthy too. Hope you will link up to meatless monday today 🙂

Did you love it?! I always add dark chocolate chips! So so good 🙂
Happy birthday week! And YES for a skoop giveaway! It definitely makes the bomb dot com baked goods. If I had to choose between Chipahoy and oreo… well considering that oreos were a monthly or biweekly occurance and chips ahoy (especially chewy chips ahoy) were daily… I gotta go with my chips ahoy 😀

oatmeal chocolate chip are my favorite!
Yay for birthday week! I’m glad I’m not the only one who celebrates the 7 days around my birth : ) You pose the most thought provoking questions… I love both Oreos and chocolate chip cookies, but I will have to go with Chips Ahoy. Best thing I ate all weekend – date balls that I made in my new blender! : ) Hope you have a great Monday!!

Next week is my birthday week! June birthdays are the best. The best thing I at this weekend was a chocolate lava cake to celebrate a friend’s birthday as well.
Definitely oreos as a kid. Please tell me I wasn’t the only one who at them in a special way to save the best bites for last?
No June bdays here but a very happy one to you!! I’ve been using skoop in smoothies because I still have a huge bag. Nailing a recipe on the first try (and writing it down!) is the best feeling 🙂

US only? Ohhhhhh you suck 😛 These cookies seriously look fantastic, though — I’d never be able to tell they were made with protein powder, which is saying a lot since baking with protein powder can be a little bit tricky. And I was definitely a Chips Ahoy girl when I was little. I’d eat Oreos on occasion, but Chips Ahoy were a staple.
Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted…. greek yogurt banana bread .
I had ice cream after my long run- definitely a treat! I loved all sweets as a kid, but I think I probably preferred chips ahoy.
I’d pick an oreo and the best thing I ate was a pesto pizza! mmmm
My favorite cookie is the fresh Tollhouse cookies from their bakery (I’ve only ever had it when visiting the Mall of America) but as far as homemade cookies, my favorite is oatmeal raisin. This may sound ridiculous but I never even thought to add chocolate to my oatmeal raisin cookies! So simple and so brilliant! My mouth is watering over your photos. I cannot wait to try this recipe 😀
These look awesome!
I’m normally a chocolate chip cookie kinda’ gal, but I’ll take any that are soft and chewy. 🙂
tiff @ love, sweat, & beers recently posted…Marvelous Meal Plan Monday
peanut butter choco chip most definitely!
Oatmeal chocochip are my fav!
Oreos but more as an ice cream/froyo topping.
Best thing I ate – mangoes and papayas. I am travelling in Guatemala right now and they are amazing here and so so cheap!
June would be such a great month to have a birthday. Mine’s in January right after Christmas and it’s always cold and rainy and blech. Hope you have such a fun week! Cookies look killer.
Suzy recently posted…Mileage Monday
June is awesome for birthdays but sometimes it’s pretty chilly and rainy on my birthday. I just never know what to expect.
I tend to not make cookies very often as usually just want a cookie or two and the rest of the batch goes to waste 🙁 I would say my choice is oatmeal with raisins or a few choc chips!
Kate @ Kate Lives Healthy recently posted…WIAW #49
I love most cookies, but my favorite would have to be chocolate chip. I’m vegan, and still haven’t found a protein powder I love, so I would love to try Skoop!
I definitely recommend Skoop. I think you would love it!
I think chocolate chunk would be my fav. June is a busy month between my husband’s birthday (Wed), my parents’ anniversary, my mom’s birthday and Father’s Day! And super busy b/c my husband is planning to get a puppy next week…NOT happy about it! Happy almost birthday ( :
Oh no! I know how you feel. My son only wants a dog and I just don’t want to deal with taking care of one after knowing how much work it is.
Hi 5 to June birthdays! I love adding protein powder to cookies and use it in many of my recipes but the key is to find a good one- Glad you found one with skoop!
Arman @ thebigmansworld recently posted…One month in America
If you haven’t tried Skoop, I recommend that you do. It’s really terrific.
My ex-wife has a June 1 birthday. ; ) ……. Definitely Chips Ahoy ………. my Mussels in Rice soup ……
Have a great birthday week/month!
these look great! best thing I had this weekend was a piece of wedding cake. 🙂 it was delicious!
Sarah @ Sarah’s on the Run recently posted…Umm, it’s June?!
Ohh I love a good wedding cake!
I was never a boxed cookie person. I like chewy cookies so I always ate the break and bake toll house ones!
Shannon recently posted…Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Smoothie
I remember eating those too! So fun.
Awww…I love cookies and Skoop!!! I would say I am a huge fan of peanut butter cookies with the chocolate kiss on top or a good ol’ oatmeal raisin. The softer the cookie the better : )
I haven’t made those “blossom” cookies in a while but now I am in the mood to!
I can never say no to a chocolate chip cookie but peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies steal my heart!
Brittany @ Barr & Table recently posted…What I Ate Wednesday #132: Time For a Change
Yum, peanut butter chocolate chunk are awesome.
Chocolate chip PB! I am gluten free so I would love to try the scoop-B strong!!
Skoop is the best! I think you will love it.
My favorite cookie changes based on the time of year, but overall oatmeal scotchies are my favorite.
Yayyyyyy!! Happy Birthday Week!! I love oatmeal raisin cookies with chocolate chips 🙂
Sara @ Lake Shore Runner recently posted…Weekend Recap – Rain Rain Go Away
I’m more of a cookie dough person than a cookie-lover. I think I was always just too impatient to wait for the dough to bake whenever I decided to make cookies lol. I do love the samoa and tagalong girl scout cookies though!
I was the same way – totally eat the cookie dough because I didn’t want to wait for the cookies to bake.
Coconut macaroons are my fav- Could prob find a way to add Skoop to them too!!!
I love molasses cookies!
Right out of the oven chocolate chip cookies are my favorite!
me too!
I love chocolate chip cookies!
I love trail mix cookies!
Oreos win every time!
Happy Birthday Week!! I’ll have a cocktail in your honor or at least some veggie stir fry, maybe even a baked potato. 🙂
And a piece of cake in my honor too I hope 🙂
The best thing I ate this weekend by far was my birthday cake! It was lemon blueberry cake with cream cheese frosting, and I actually almost started crying when I ate it. It was getting embarrassing so I put a quick stop to that…the runner up was the peanut butter cup cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory!!!
Ohhh, I can relate – it sounds like it was delicious! Happy Birthday 🙂
Oatmeal (dairy free) chocolate chip are my favorite! This recipe looks great and I will definitely give it a try.
Let me know if you do and what you think!
I love chocolate chunk cookies.
I love black and white cookies!
My fave is molasses or a ginger doodle!
My favorite cookie is white chocolate macadamia, but if I’m baking cookies I go for oatmeal raisin made with golden raisins.
I never baked my oatmeal raisin with golden raisins. I need to try that!
The raisin taste is a little milder with golden.
Happy Happy Birthday week! Woot! Confetti everywhere! Anyways, I’d say my favorite cookie has to be a draw between snickerdoodle and butterscotch oatmeal (scotchies)
How many cookies does this recipe yield? Want to know how to portion it out
hi! I haven’t made them in a while – a rough guess would be 9 but the truth is, you can make them as big or as small as you want to which would yield different amounts. There’s no right or wrong! You can even double the recipe. If you make them on the smaller side, just watch the cook time as the smaller they are , the faster they will cook. By the 7 min mark in the oven, start checking to see if they are crisping on top/getting firm. That’s the best way to judge.
