Recipe Notes
- If you only have regular oats, just place them in a blender and pulse them for a short time to break them into rough, smaller pieces
- If using salted butter omit the added salt.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container on the counter.
Here's how to make it:
- About 10 minutes before starting, place separated egg whites and milk into two small bowls and set aside on the counter. Then melt butter and set aside to cool.
- After 10 minutes combine all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
- In a separate bowl mix melted butter (or coconut oil), egg whites and vanilla. Blend in the molasses and then add milk. Stir.
- Add dry ingredients into the wet and mix well. Place into the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place a piece of parchment on a baking sheet and divide the batter into 13 to 15 balls. Flatten them with a spatula. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes. Don’t overbake! A little give in the middle is just fine.
- Cool for a few minutes and serve warm for breakfast of a coffee break.
