3-minute vegan maple oatmeal cookie

A snack that is healthy, tastes good, and will give you the energy you need to get passed the afternoon work lull!

Ingredients:
1/4 cup regular oats
1 vegan egg white (combine 1 tsp ground chia, chia seeds, or ground flax + 4 tbsp water)
1 tsp sucanat (brown sugar works)
2 tsp whole grain spelt flour
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp dried fruit like raisins (I used chopped dried apricot)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp Nature’s Path gluten-free rice crisp cereal
1/2 tbsp cacao nibs (or dark chocolate chips)
1 tbsp pure maple syrup
Pinch of sea salt

Directions: Mix the dry ingredients together and then pour on the vegan egg white, maple syrup, and all of the vanilla. Mix well. Microwave for 60-80 seconds. Let it cool for several minutes and gently pop the cookie out with a spoon. It will look like a big oatmeal cookie!
