Low carb, low cal Oatie Bites

This recipe is taken from the Diabetes Weight-Loss Recipe Book by Anthony Worrall-Thompson, Azmina Govingji, Jane Suthering.

I tend to double the mixture and make about 30 'bites' which means they're not as big or thin as the recipe suggests but still very filling especially of you do use wholemeal flour too. I also tend to put in half the amount of egg white but that's because I prefer the 'bites' to be crisp rather than chewy.

Ingredients for 12-15:
90g oats
2 tablespoons butter, melted
75g dark muscavado sugar
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons wholemeal flour

Preheat the oven to 190C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Mix all the ingredients together. Spoon 12 - 15 dollops well spaced on the baking tray, then, using a fork, flatten each one to about 8-9cm diameter. (I don't do the flattening as much as this.)
Cook for 15-20mins until golden brown. Leave to cool on the tray then transfer to a wire rack until cold and crisp. Store in an airtight container. Freeze if preferred.
