INGREDIENTS
1 c oats
1/2 c vanilla protein
1/2 c ground flaxseed or meal
1 c nuts (used 1/2 c pumpkin seeds, 1/2 c mixed nuts)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin or apple pie spice
1/2 c egg white liquid
-
1/4 c molasses
STEPS

-
Bake at 350° for 10-15 min. Mine took 13. Watch closely because it’ll burn quickly. Store at room temp or fridge in air-tight container. Good for a week.
Notes: I love to use as a yogurt, cottage cheese, or smoothie topper. Also a great on the go snack. Molasses is a good source of minerals and nutrients like potassium, iron, selenium, and copper which all help maintain healthy bones.
