Ingredients

1 cup oats, crushed

1/2 cup coconut flour

1/2 cup oat bran

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. sea salt

1/2 c. no-sugar-added applesauce

1 egg white

1 TB coconut oil, softened

1/4-1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

How to Prepare

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and coat 2 non-stick cookie sheets with cooking spray; set aside.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, bran, baking powder and salt. Now cut in the applesauce, egg white, coconut oil and ¼ cup almond milk with a fork, until the mixture resembles crumbly but moist dough (you might need to add the remaining almond milk— add just enough to make a firm but not dry dough).

3. Roll the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Place 9 of the balls onto each cookie sheet, pressing each ball with the heel of your hand to an approximate ¼ inch thickness.

4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. They’re ready to eat!
