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)!
