Very Very good. I waited to add the raisins until after removing from the oven. In this way they don't become hard. A great way to use your protein powder. I can see vanilla working equally as well. Thanks for this great find~! Update...yes...the vanilla whey powder is equally as delicious. :-)

This sounds REALLY delicious and healthy. There are no eggs or milk so I'm going to try a different method. Mix it all and roll into balls instead of baking it. THANKS for the great recipe. UPDATE: I made the balls but had to add more peanut butter and a little more honey. I also used dried cranberries instead of raisins. Delicious!
