Ingredients

  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Dash salt
  • 3 cups rolled oats, uncooked
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or other nuts, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 cup raisins, dried cranberries or other dried fruit (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a large shallow baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Put egg whites in large bowl and use a whisk or fork to mix until frothy. Stir in honey, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt.
  3. Add oats plus nuts and/or dried fruit, if desired. Stir until oats are coated with egg mixture. Spread oat mixture evenly on prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake about 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Stir mixture carefully every 5 or 6 minutes to prevent overbrowning.
  5. Remove pan to wire rack and cool completely until crispy and crunchy. Store in airtight container. Freezes well.

Tips

Either old fashioned or quick cooking oats work. Both are whole grains.
