Recipe type: Breakfast, Snack
Serves: 12-16
Ingredients
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 1 scoop (40 grams) plant-based vanilla protein powder (or sub additional ½ cup quick oats)
  • ½ cup almond butter
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ½ cup applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax + 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup grated carrots
  • ½ cup coconut (shredded or flaked)
  • ½ cup pecans (or walnuts)
  • ¼ cup raisins
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Mix ground flax and water in small bowl. Set aside to gel and make "flax egg." This will help with binding the cookies and holding them together.
  3. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients together until dough forms. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet. These cookies do not spread out much while baking, so you may want to slightly press down into cookie shape.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.
