Healthy Carrot Cake Oatmeal Cookies Recipes

HEALTHY CARROT CAKE OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, egg, and vanilla. Stir in the maple syrup until thoroughly incorporated. Add in the flour mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Fold in the carrots. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. (If chilling longer, cover with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the entire surface of the cookie dough.)
• Preheat the oven to 325°F, and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Drop the cookie dough into 14 rounded scoops on the baking sheet. Flatten slightly using a spatula. (The cookies don't spread very much!) Bake at 325°F for 12-15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.

CARROT CAKE-OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir cookie ingredients until stiff dough forms.
• On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart.
• Bake 9 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• In small bowl, mix cream cheese, 1 tablespoon butter, the vanilla and powdered sugar with spoon until smooth. Spread frosting over cookies. Sprinkle with nuts. Store tightly covered in refrigerator.

CARROT CAKE COOKIES

Steps:

• First, preheat oven to 350ºF and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Next, cut cold butter into 1-tablespoon pads and place into a stand mixer.
• Add brown sugar and then turn your stand mixer on to medium.
• Cream butter and sugar together until there are no more lumps of butter and the consistency is smooth. This should take around 5 minutes.
• While the butter is creaming, lightly pulverize rolled oats in a food processor. The goal here is to still have some chunks of oatmeal, but also have some oat flour. Then, transfer into a large bowl.
• Add white whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt to the same large bowl and mix until combined.
• Once the butter has creamed, add egg and vanilla extract and mix on medium until combined. Make sure not to over mix!
• Slowly add the dry ingredients to wet and mix on medium until a dough has formed. You may need to stop to scrape the bottom of your mixer. The consistency should be a little bit sticky, but have the ability to form into a ball.
• Finally, add in grated carrot, walnuts, and raisins, and mix one final time on medium to combine.
• Use a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop dough into your hands. Roll into a ball and then slightly flatten between your palms to create a cookie shape. Place on a cookie sheet and repeat.
• Bake at 350ºF for 12-14 minutes.
• Once the bottoms are golden brown, remove from cookie sheet immediately and transfer to a cooling rack.
• Top with optional sea salt before serving.
