Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly oil with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add rolled oats, protein powder and stir to combine evenly.
Add fresh drippy peanut butter (if it's not fresh, microwave it for a few seconds to soften), maple syrup, vanilla extract, avocado oil, and unsweetened applesauce.
Stir until it comes together into a sticky and moist cookie dough.
Fold in dried raisins and stir to incorporate evenly.
Use a cookie dough scoop to scoop out some of the cookie dough, press firmly in the scoop to pack the batter, then release it on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat until you form 9 large cookies, leaving half a thumb of space between each cookie.
Use the palm of your hands to flatten the cookies slightly.
Bake for 17-20 minutes at 350°F (180°C) on the center rack of your oven until golden brown on the edges.
Cool down for 15 minutes on the baking sheet. Don't touch them or move the cookies. They firm up as they cool down.
Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and cool again until they reach room temperature.
Storage
Store the cookies in a cookie jar or airtight sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
