This recipe for healthier carrot oatmeal cookies makes a relatively healthy, cake-like cookie that is a bit like a mix between carrot cake and oatmeal cookies. I adjusted a few recipes to use less sugar and more oats and carrots, so I don't feel too bad eating these for breakfast (which I can't resist)!

Ingredients

1 cup honey
0.67 cups coconut oil
2 cups grated carrots
2 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
0.25 teaspoons baking soda
0.25 teaspoons salt
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup raisins
0.5 cups chopped walnuts , Optional

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2

Beat honey and coconut oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy; beat in carrots and eggs until combined.
3

Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl; stir into carrot mixture until well combined. Stir in oats, raisins, and walnuts until evenly combined.
4

Drop large spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets; flatten with a fork, if desired.
5

Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden, about 15 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
