Ingredients
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour (you can substitute gluten-free flour)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tabespoons shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 2 tablespoons coconut butter melted
- 2 tablespoons milk (you can use any kind of milk)
- 2.3oz/65g finely grated carrot
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F/180C and line a baking tray with a non-stick mat or parchment paper. Combine all the ingredients together in one bowl and stir until a dough forms.
- Evenly divide the mixture into 12 balls (it works out about 1 heaped tablespoon per cookie) and lay them out onto the lined baking tray. These cookies don't spread much, so gently press each one down to form a cookie shape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for around 14 minutes, until they're just starting to turn golden brown and they're firm to the touch. Leave to cool on the baking tray until they reach room temperature then store inside an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
