Oatmeal Carrot Cookies

Ingredients

SERVES 8

1 medium carrot, grated

1 cup (100g) instant oats

⅔ cup (100g) whole-grain flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

3 tbsp. coconut oil, melted

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla extract

5 tbsp. (75ml) maple syrup

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C). Mix the oats, flour, baking powder and cinnamon in a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together, the egg melted and cooled oil, vanilla extract and maple syrup. Fold in the dry ingredients and mix well.
3. Add in the finely grated carrot and mix again.
4. Spoon the mixture (1 heaped tablespoon per cookie) onto a baking tray lined with paper and shape into rounds, leaving space between each cookie as they will spread slightly while cooking.
