Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup grated carrot
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup honey
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the shredded coconut, grated carrot, raisins, and chopped walnuts to the dry ingredients. Mix until evenly incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the applesauce, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture comes together into a thick, moist dough.

Step 6

Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup or cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. Flatten each mound slightly with your hand or the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are set.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Store the breakfast cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
