Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 25 mins

STEP 1
Let's prepare the ingredients. This is the minimum amount of products needed to make healthy low-calorie cookies. If desired, the components can be combined, changed, added something new, some additives. The main thing is that these are healthy and low-calorie products. We thoroughly wash the dried fruits and steam them with boiling water for several minutes so that they swell slightly. Place dried fruits on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
STEP 2
You can take any nuts, but walnuts are healthier and lower in calories. We also wash the nuts and dry them on a paper towel. They need to be slightly chopped. This can be done with a blender, coffee grinder or regular rolling pin. Oatmeal flakes for such cookies should not be instant and with various additives, but regular ones that require cooking, for example, “Extra”. But any cereal needs to be washed and dried. You can use commercially produced oatmeal.
STEP 3
Oatmeal can be quickly prepared at home from oatmeal. We wash the oatmeal, dry it and grind it into flour using a coffee grinder. Protein is added to cookies in order to increase the amount of protein in it, this is important for athletes. This powder is sold in sports nutrition stores. We only need whites from chicken eggs; the yolks can be used to prepare other dishes. Separate the whites from the yolks into a bowl
STEP 4
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Add egg whites to them. Mix the mass thoroughly. The dough turns out very sticky, it is unlikely that you will be able to roll the cookies by hand; you can spread the dough with a tablespoon, carefully giving it a round shape.
STEP 5
Place the dough on a baking sheet or wire rack lined with parchment paper. Cookies should be made no more than 0.5 centimeters thick so that they are baked well. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes if you want the cookies to be soft. If you want the cookies to be harder and drier, you need to increase the baking time by 10 minutes.
STEP 6
Take out the golden brown oatmeal cookies, let cool and serve with tea. Although these are fitness cookies, they should not be overused either. You can take these cookies with you to your workout as a snack. Bon appetit!
