Preparation
- Prepare the Dried Apricots: Soak the dried apricots in water for a few minutes until soft.
- Once softened, drain and pat them dry. Cut the apricots into small pieces as shown in the video.
- Toast the Oatmeal: In a dry pan, lightly toast the 2 tablespoons of oatmeal over medium heat for about 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning. This enhances the flavor and gives a nice nutty aroma.
- Mix the Nuts and Seeds: In a large mixing bowl, combine the walnuts, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, poppy seeds, flaxseed, sesame seeds, and almonds.
- Add the toasted oatmeal and chopped dried apricots. Mix everything well to combine.
- Prepare the Binding Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white with 1 tablespoon of agave or Jerusalem artichoke syrup (or any sugar substitute you prefer).
- Stir the egg white mixture into the nut and seed mixture until everything is evenly coated.
- Form the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into round cookie shapes (you can flatten them slightly if you prefer).
- Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each cookie.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden and slightly crisp on the outside.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy these deliciously crunchy and nutty cookies. They make for a perfect healthy snack!
