  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup water
  • ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup

  • 1/4 cup pepitas (aka pumpkin seeds)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on the edges and firm to touch in the center. Remove from oven and leave  on pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
