Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients (except M&M's) together until completely mixed. If you need to make your own oat powder, do this part in the blender first.
In a larger bowl, using a hand mixer or blender, blend egg whites for 10 seconds. Add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Blend until completely combined.
Add the whole mixture into the baking dish and spread out evenly. Sprinkle with M&M's.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
