These little snacks are easy to make and genuinely taste like Oatmeal raisin cookies! Perfect for a morning or afternoon snack with a cup of tea, or for a pre/post workout bite.

I made these delicious little things for our bike rides to Brighton and Paris. Filled with oats, peanut butter and dried fruit, the protein, slow release carbs and natural sugars will help get an immediate energy hit whilst also filling you up for a while!
