These Carrot Cake Cookies are not your average cookie. They are grain-free and sweetened with maple syrup. In fact, they’re so full of the good stuff that you could be eating these for breakfast. Each cookie is loaded with shredded carrots, golden raisins, rolled oats, and walnuts in every single bite. They’re chewy, diverse in texture, and packed with nourishing and satisfying ingredients.
Great as a snack, but sweet enough to pass as dessert!
Not to mention, they’re just as delicious as they are simple to make. Just mix, form into little heaps, and bake! Weather you’re searching for a quick sweet tooth fix, a late night snack, or a nourishing on-the-go breakfast, these cookies are for you. So what are you waiting for? Let’s get cooking!
Ingredients
½ cup almond flour
½ cup rolled oats
2 eggs
¼ cup maple syrup
⅓ cup chopped walnuts
1 cup shredded carrots
½ cup golden raisins
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Combine all ingredients until a messy dough forms. This won’t be a smooth dough like what you’d normally see in cookies, but you should be able to form the cookies into small heaps or nests to be baked.
- Spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons worth of dough into your hands and form into heaps. Place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until slightly golden and no longer wet in the center.
- Allow to cool before removing from the pan and enjoying your carrot cake cookies!
Don’t go another day without these nourishing nests of yumminess! These cookies are perfect for batch cooking and freezer friendly. Make a batch, snack on a few, and then store your leftovers in the freezer. Simply reheat the cookies in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds before enjoying anytime you need a quick bite.
