Healthy Oatmeal Cookies with Apple and Carrot Recipe
Ingredients:
1 Cup Quick Oats
1 Cup Whole Wheat or Gluten-Free Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Cup Grated Carrot
1/2 Cup Grated Apple
1 Cup Raisins
1/2 Cup Sunflower Seeds, Chopped Walnuts, or Chopped Pecans
1/2 Cup Coconut Oil, Melted
1/3 Cup Honey or Maple Syrup
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven to 375 Degrees F and Line A Baking Sheet with Parchment Paper.
Mix Together All Ingredients in A Large Bowl Using A Wooden Spoon to Start and then Using (Clean) Hands to Bring the Batter Completely Together if Needed.
Portion Out 2-Tablespoon Sized Balls of Dough, Place Onto the Prepared Baking Sheet, and Press Down Until 1/4-1/2 inch Thick. Space them About an inch Apart—they won’t Spread, so Close is Okay. Bake for 18-20 Minutes or Until Lightly Golden Around the Edges. Let Cool on the Baking Sheet and Serve.
These are Best Eaten on the Day they are Made, but can be Stored in An Airtight Container at Room Temperature or in the Fridge for 3-5 Days.
