Ingredients
1CupGluten Free GranolaI used Bobs Red Mill Honey Oat
1/2CupSweetened coconut flakes
1/2CupOld fashioned rolled oatmeal
1/4CupBrown sugarpacked
1/2tspCinnamon
3Large Egg whites
2Large avocados
Cooking spray
For the dipping sauce:
1/2CupPlainnon-fat Greek yogurt
1/2CupStrawberriesroughly chopped
1- 1 1/2TbspHoney or maple syrupto taste (or sweetener of choice)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheetwith parchment paper.
In asmall food processor, crush the granola just slightly so that it still remains a little chunky. Pour into a large plate and mix with the coconut flakes. Set aside.
Add the oats, brown sugar and cinnamon into the food processor and blend until the oats are fine and flour-like. Pour into a large plate.
Pour the egg whites into a separate bowl and cut the avocado into wedges (I got 4 wedges per each half of avocado)
Coat an avocado wedge in the oatmeal mixture and then in egg white. Finally, press the avocado into the crushed granola, really pressing and packing it on until it coats the avocado wedge. Place onto the prepared baking sheet Repeat for remaining wedges.
Spray the avocado fries with cooking spray and bake for 7 minutes. Flip and spray with a little more cooking spray, and bake until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
While the fries cook, blend the yogurt, strawberries, and sweetener in a food processor until creamy and smooth.
