Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large egg whites

  • ⅔ cup dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ⅔ cup raisins
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and avocado oil with the salt, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar.
