How to Prepare Carrot Cake Protein Cookies [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Preheat the oven to 340°F and grease or line with parchment paper an oven tray .
  2. Grate the carrots. You will need 1-2 large carrots
  3. In a large bowl, add the oats, protein powder, buckwheat flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking soda. Stir or whisk to combine.
  4. Add to the bowl the applesauce, sticky sweetener and vanilla extract. Stir well until fully incorporated.
  5. Fold in the shredded carrots and seed mix.
  6. Take a Tbsp of batter and roll into a ball. Place the ball onto the cookie sheet and press down. The dough is a little sticky, so if you wet your hands it will help keep the dough from sticking to them.
  7. Bake for 10 min. or until the center of the cookie is slightly springy to the touch and the dough is no longer sticky.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool slightly (about 10 min.) and then transfer them to a wire rack to continue cooling...or just go ahead and eat them!
