Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 large egg white
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon wheat germ
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce

- 2 cups mixed nuts (one 10.3-ounce container)
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup hulled pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 1/2 cup dried apricots, quartered
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk the egg white in a large bowl until very foamy. Add the brown sugar, wheat germ, oil, chia seeds, soy sauce, cinnamon, vanilla and 1 teaspoon salt and whisk together.
