8 oz dried apricots, chopped
0.33 cup water
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup Flour, all purpose, unbleached, enriched, sifted
0.5 cup oat bran
0.5 cup brown sugar
0.5 cup chopped walnuts
0.5 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
2 egg whites
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease two baking trays. Put the apricots in a bowl, pour over the boiling water and allow to soak for 10 minutes.
2 While the mixture cools, combine the oats, flour, oat bran, sugar, walnuts, baking powder and spices in a separate large bowl.
3 Beat the egg white until stiff peaks begin to form, and then fold in the cooled apricot mixture. Add the oil, then mix into the dry ingredients.
4 To bake, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking trays and then bake until lightly brown, roughly 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the tray and then transfer to a wire cooling rack for further cooling before serving.
