Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cut into tablespoon pads)
1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.5 cups rolled oats (lightly pulverized)
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup coarsely grated carrot (lightly packed)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins

Steps:

  • First, preheat oven to 350ºF and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Next, cut cold butter into 1-tablespoon pads and place into a stand mixer.
  • Add brown sugar and then turn your stand mixer on to medium.
  • Cream butter and sugar together until there are no more lumps of butter and the consistency is smooth. This should take around 5 minutes.
  • While the butter is creaming, lightly pulverize rolled oats in a food processor. The goal here is to still have some chunks of oatmeal, but also have some oat flour. Then, transfer into a large bowl.
  • Add white whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt to the same large bowl and mix until combined.
  • Once the butter has creamed, add egg and vanilla extract and mix on medium until combined. Make sure not to over mix!
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to wet and mix on medium until a dough has formed. You may need to stop to scrape the bottom of your mixer. The consistency should be a little bit sticky, but have the ability to form into a ball.
  • Finally, add in grated carrot, walnuts, and raisins, and mix one final time on medium to combine.
  • Use a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop dough into your hands. Roll into a ball and then slightly flatten between your palms to create a cookie shape. Place on a cookie sheet and repeat.
  • Bake at 350ºF for 12-14 minutes.
  • Once the bottoms are golden brown, remove from cookie sheet immediately and transfer to a cooling rack.
  • Top with optional sea salt before serving.

HEALTHY CARROT CAKE OATMEAL BREAKFAST COOKIES



Healthy Carrot Cake Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies image

These cookies taste just like carrot cake-one of my favorite treats! They're chewy like regular "dessert" cookies and have the sweetness level of muffins. They'll keep for at least one week if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator-if they last that long!

Yield 15 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup (100g) instant oats (measured like this and gluten-free if necessary)
¾ cup (90g) whole wheat or gluten-free* flour (measured like this)
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp (28g) coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 large egg white, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup (60mL) pure maple syrup, room temperature
5 tbsp (75mL) nonfat milk, room temperature
¾ cup (68g) freshly grated carrot (about 1 medium, peeled first!)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, egg white, and vanilla. Stir in the maple syrup and milk. Add in the flour mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Gently fold in the carrots. Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F, and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • Drop the cookie dough into 15 rounded scoops onto the prepared sheet, and flatten to the desired thickness and width with a spatula. Bake at 325°F for 10-13 minutes. Cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
