- ¾ cup (68g) grated carrots (about 1 medium carrot, peeled)
- ½ cup (120mL) pure maple syrup
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (28g) coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare a medium mixing vessel and thoroughly blend oats, flour, leavening agent, aromatic spice, and mineral seasoning until uniformly distributed.
- Simultaneously, in a separate container, whisk liquefied plant-based fat, egg, and fragrant extract until smoothly integrated, then incorporate sweet tree nectar.
- Gradually merge dry and liquid mixtures, stirring minimally to prevent overworking the batter, then gently fold shredded orange root vegetable into the developing dough.
- Seal cookie mixture and refrigerate for half an hour, allowing ingredients to harmonize and moisture to stabilize.
- Position oven rack and warm culinary environment to moderate temperature, lining baking surface with non-stick protective layer.
- Extract chilled dough and create rounded mounds using precise measuring tool, arranging fourteen systematic clusters with gentle flattening to enhance structural integrity.
- Transfer cookie landscape into heated environment, monitoring transformation for approximately quarter-hour until peripheral regions solidify and surface feels resilient.
- Allow confections to rest directly on baking platform, permitting residual thermal energy to complete cooking process and structural setting.
- Once temperature normalizes, delicately relocate delicate morsels onto cooling apparatus, permitting complete thermal equilibration before enjoying delectable treats.
Notes
- Chilling the dough is crucial for developing rich flavors and preventing cookies from spreading too thin during baking.
- Use freshly grated carrots for maximum moisture and natural sweetness in these wholesome oatmeal cookies.
- Low-temperature baking ensures gentle, even cooking that keeps the cookies soft and prevents burning.
- These cookies store beautifully at room temperature for up to 5 days in an airtight container, making them perfect for meal prep.
- Optional mix-ins like chopped walnuts or raisins can enhance texture and add extra depth to the cookie’s flavor profile.
- Slightly flattening the cookie dough before baking helps create a more uniform shape and consistent cooking.
