How to Prepare Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies [Vegan]

  1. Position the oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the carrots, apple, maple syrup, almond butter, flaxseed, water, melted coconut oil, and vanilla until combined.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, whole wheat flour, shredded coconut, raisins, pecans, hemp hearts, cinnamon, allspice, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Pour the carrot mixture into the oat mixture. Mix with a spoon or rubber spatula until well combined.
  5. Using a small ice cream scoop or large spoon, scoop about twenty-five 1/4 cup (60 mL) mounds of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) between them. Using your fingers, gently press down on the cookies to flatten them to 1/2-inch (1 cm) thickness.
  6. Bake until golden brown on the bottom, about 18 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. Transfer the cookies to a rack and cool completely. Store in a resealable container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Notes

Gluten-free: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend or certified gluten-free oat flour instead of whole wheat flour. Use certified gluten-free rolled oats.

Nut-free: Use a seed butter such as tahini or sunflower butter instead of almond butter. Skip the pecans.
