- 2 egg whites
- 3 tbsp maple syrup, honey or agave
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups shredded or desiccated coconut
- 1/4 cup ground oats or oat flour
- 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips (25g), optional
In a bowl, add room temperature egg whites, your sweetener, vanilla extract and salt. Beat with a fork until slightly foamy.
Add the coconut and oats and mix it in, until the mixture is nice and sticky.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop out the mixture onto a lined baking tray. If it's falling apart, form the cookie shape with your fingers.
Bake at 325F (160C) for 20 minutes.
Let it cool completely in a tray (or at least 30 minutes), to firm up.
Drizzle with melted dark chocolate.
