Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Grated carrot
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cups Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 unit Egg (or flax egg for a vegan alternative)
• 0.25 cups Raisins or chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the grated carrot, unsweetened applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and egg (or flax egg). Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. If using optional raisins or chopped nuts, fold them in at this stage.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies feel set to the touch.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Enjoy your healthy oatmeal carrot cookies as a snack or dessert! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
