Ingredients
Scale
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/2 cup grated carrots
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Blend the applesauce and honey (or maple syrup) in another bowl until smooth.
Combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until mixed well. Fold in the grated carrots, raisins, and walnuts if you’re using them.
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them a bit apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a vegan option, substitute honey with agave syrup and make sure the oats are gluten-free if necessary.
