Servings: 16
Calories: 128kcal
Ingredients
- 2 large egg whites
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- ½ cup raisins golden or black
- ½ cup almond meal
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a large fork to blend the egg whites with the sugar, honey, vanilla, spices and salt. Once everything is well blended, fold in the oats, coconut, raisins and almond meal.
- Use an approximately 2-inch cookie scoop to shape the "batter" into balls, placing them on the parchment-lined baking sheet as you go. They will be on the loose side, but they will stick together. (They won't spread, but still leave at least an inch or so between each one.)
- Bake in the preheated 375°F oven until they are golden brown, about 12 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Best served as soon as they've cooled, when they're at their crunchiest. They'll soften over time; to re-crisp, warm them in a preheated 375°F oven for about 10 minutes.
Gluten-free: Be sure to use oats labeled gluten-free, since some oats are cross-contaminated with wheat.
Mix-ins: The raisins and coconut total 1 cup, so swap in chocolate chips, dried cranberries or dried blueberries as you like. For all chocolate chips, use ¾ cup instead.
