Ingredients

• 1 cup Shredded carrots
• 1.5 cups Old-fashioned oats
• 0.75 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 whole Egg
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (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 shredded carrots, old-fashioned oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Step 5

If using raisins and/or chopped walnuts, gently fold them into the dough at this stage.

Step 6

Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 7

Lightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers to help ensure even cooking.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
