3. 3

   In a separate measuring cup, whisk melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg white until frothy.

4. 4

   Pour wet ingredients over dry mixture and toss thoroughly until every oat flake is evenly coated and glistening.

5. 5

   Spread onto the baking sheet and press down firmly with the back of a spatula into an even, compact layer.

   Cool completely on the pan for 45 minutes without touching. Once cooled, break into giant crunchy clusters!
