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)!

Moistest Sugar-Free Zucchini Muffins Ever
These healthy, sugar-free zucchini breakfast muffins are the softest, moistest, and most delicious I've ever had. The optional brown sugar topping gives them a great crunch. They can even be turned paleo with a few substitutions. Seriously, they're so good that I created an Allrecipes account just to share them.
Chococonut Chip Cookies
These coconut-chocolate chip cookies are truly scrumptious! I came up with this recipe one day, just trying to find a way to use the bag of coconut flakes sitting in the cupboard. It's a cross between family recipes for cookies and my imagination. I hope you enjoy eating them as much as we did.
