Categories Breakfast

Time 32m

Yield 10-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups rolled oats (not instant)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 cup sugar-free maple syrup

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until smooth. Add the egg, maple syrup and vanilla.
Add remaining ingredients and mix until well blended.
Drop the dough into 1/4 (or 1/3!) cup mounds about 3" apart on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes, or until golden. Check after 10 minutes to avoid overbaking!
Use a spatula to transfer slightly cooled cookies to a rack or plate.

Tips:

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture and flavor. Quick-cooking oats will make the cookies too soft.
If you don't have raisins, you can substitute dried cranberries, cherries, or chopped nuts.
Be sure to drain the grated carrots well before adding them to the batter, or the cookies will be too wet.
Don't overmix the batter, or the cookies will be tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cookies until they are just set in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying them. This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These oatmeal carrot raisin cookies are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy treat, give these cookies a try!
