- 4 eggs
- 100 g oat flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
-
In a big bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt to soft peaks.
-
In a separate bowl, mix the yolks with xylitol (to taste, we used one tablespoon) and the vanilla extract. Mix until it is smooth and airy.
-
Carefully add the oat flour and baking powder.
-
Carefully and gradually add the stiff peaks. Incorporate them carefully, so they keep their structure.
-
Using a paper piping cone or a spoon, create the ladyfingers from the dough. The shape and size are up to you, but they should be about 1cm thick.
-
Bake them in a preheated oven for 10‑12 minutes, until they're golden and still spongy when touched.
-
Remove them from the oven and leave them to cool on the rack.
-
You can serve them on their own or use them in a Tiramisu recipe.
