Eggs: The Better Breakfast for a Healthy Heart

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Line baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
Measure egg whites. If they aren't quite ½ cup, add a little water to reach that level.Mix in the vanilla.
In a small bowl, mix erythritol and stevia with coconut.
Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients. The mixture should just hold together.
Let stand 2 minutes.
Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet at least half an inch apart. Slightly flatten or embellish as you'd like - they will retain their shape.
Turn the oven down to 325 degrees F and bake 13-15 minutes, or just until light golden brown on the bottom with a golden hue on top.
Cool slightly and serve.
