Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
Sweeteners and Liquids:
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
Spices and Extras:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Prepare baking environment by lining a sheet with parchment paper and heating oven to 350F (175C).
- Create a moist base by whisking maple syrup, applesauce, and grated carrots until thoroughly integrated.
- Craft a dry mixture combining rolled oats, almond flour, coconut flour, warming spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger), salt, and baking soda in a separate container.
- Gently merge wet and dry ingredients, stirring cautiously to prevent overmixing and maintain delicate texture.
- Enhance cookie complexity by folding in optional chopped nuts and dried fruit for additional depth and crunch.
- Portion dough using a cookie scoop onto prepared baking sheet, ensuring consistent spacing of approximately 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, monitoring until cookie edges transform to a golden brown and center appears set.
- Allow cookies to rest briefly on baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack for complete cooling, helping them develop optimal texture and structure.
Notes
- Choose maple syrup or honey for natural sweetness that enhances the cookie’s flavor profile and provides better moisture.
- Use freshly grated carrots to ensure maximum moisture and natural sweetness in the cookies, preventing dry texture.
- Experiment with different nuts like pecans or walnuts to add crunch and personalize the recipe’s taste and texture.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the wire rack to help them set and develop a perfect chewy consistency that holds together well.
