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.
