Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Combine honey and coconut oil in a large bowl, beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add carrots and eggs and mix well.

  3. Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Mix in oats, raisins, and walnuts until well distributed.

  4. Drop large spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets and flatten with a fork, if desired.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until tops are a golden color, about 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Recipe Yield

24 large cookies

Recipe Note

This makes a relatively healthy, cake-like cookie that is a bit like a mix between carrot cake and oatmeal cookies. I adjusted a few different recipes to use less sugar and more oats and carrots so that I don't feel too bad eating these for breakfast (which I can't resist)!
