3TbspUnsweetened Applesauce, See notes for sub
1tspCinnamon

1Egg White
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except egg whites: rolled oats, puffed rice cereal, almonds, chia seeds, maple syrup, applesauce, vanilla extract, nutmeg and salt if using, and mix.
In a small bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy - about 10 seconds with a hand mixer.
Add egg white to oat mixture and fold to combine. Make sure egg whites are completely mixed in.
Transfer mixture to baking sheet and spread out evenly evenly around the edges, leaving a hole in the middle, and press down to flatten.
Leaving the gap in the middle (like a donut) is required or the the center will remain soft while edges harden.
