Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C).
2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle oatmeal on top and spread out. Toast in preheated oven for 10 minutes or until it begins to turn golden.
3. Remove and set aside to cool. Leave oven at 375 F (190 C).
4. Combine honey, pumpkin purée, coconut oil and eggs in a large bowl. Stir together to blend. Add remaining ingredients, except egg white and raw sugar, along with cooled oatmeal. Stir mixture together until evenly blended. You may need to use your hands to adequately mix ingredients.
