Clean Breakfast Cookies

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/4 cup flax seed meal
• 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup honey
• 2 egg whites
• 4 teaspoons almond butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.

Whisk oats, pastry flour, flax meal, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Stir honey, egg whites, almond butter, and vanilla extract into oats mixture until dough is well-blended; mix in chocolate chips. Scoop dough into 36 balls and place on prepared baking sheets.

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden and set, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, lightly loosen each cookie from the baking sheet, and continue cooling on the baking sheets for another 10 minutes.
