Ingredients 

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (100g)
  • 1 cup all purpose flour (130g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 3-4 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup grated carrots (65g)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, add all the wet ingredients.
  • Combine the dry and wet ingredients. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in carrots and walnuts.
  • Using a mini ice cream scooper (or a tablespoon), scoop out the dough and place on baking sheet. Using slightly wet fingers, flatten to desired texture.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden.

Notes

    • These carrot cookies will not spread much so if you desire a more bread-y texture, flatten slightly. For chewy texture, flat out as thin as possible.
    • Put parchment paper or a silicone mat on your cookie sheets for easy clean-up.
    • Transfer leftover cookies to an airtight container and store on the counter for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
    • You can also freeze for up to 3 months. I recommend using the flash freeze method that I use for freezing muffins so that they won't clump together.
