Carrot Oatmeal Cookies
From 101 Cookbooks
Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour ( I used regular whole wheat flour.)
1 teaspoon baking powder
scant 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
1 cup rolled oats
2/3 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup real maple syrup, room temperature
1/2 cup unrefined (fragrant) coconut oil, warmed until just melted
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and oats. Add the nuts and carrots. In a separate smaller bowl use a whisk to combine the maple syrup, coconut oil, and ginger. Add this to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
Drop onto prepared baking sheets, one level tablespoonful at a time, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake in the top 1/3 of the oven for 10 - 12 minutes or until the cookies are golden on top and bottom.
Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
So did you notice there there is no animal products or sugar in these cookies? I guess that means they are vegan. I didn't realize the sugar part until after I had mixed them all together. These cookies are moist, chewy, and sweet enough for my taste. There mini size means you can have 2 4 at a time.
They are very, very easy to put together. The longest part is shredding the carrots and as you can see I had a little help. I am still waiting for Mr. J to taste them but I am pretty sure they will be a success. They already are in my mind.
Hmmm...carrots, coconut oil, ginger? Those sound interesting! They do look yummy though! :)
