carrot cake breakfast cookies – breakfast cookies you’ll WANT to eat!
Ah, breakfast cookies. That alluring concept (COOKIES! FOR BREAKFAST!) that, more often than not, fails to deliver.
I’ve shared all of one recipe for such cookie here – and it’s been more than 6 years since I’ve shared another. Because it is truly hard to find a breakfast cookie that is truly something you’d serve for breakfast. And that is truly something you’d want to eat.
Hello, carrot cake breakfast cookies!
These were worth the wait, and even better than the last ones.
Far less sweetener, fewer ingredients, no mixer needed and (IMHO) even more delicious.
And they’re gluten-free!
Almond flour replaces all-purpose here, to great success. I LOVE baking with almond flour as it actually adds flavor and tenderness to anything you bake with it. This is especially important in a breakfast cookie, as most breakfast cookies tend to be more hockey puck than cookie.
Let me know if you make them, and tag me on Instagram @sherisilver if you do!
lightly adapted from Real Simple
1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats (gluten-free if desired)
1 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 egg + 1 egg white
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups packed shredded or grated carrots (about 8 ounces)
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees; line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl whisk the oats, almond flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla and whisk again. Add the shredded carrots and stir till ingredients are well combined.
Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the dough onto your baking sheet – you should get about 12 scoops. Use damp hands to form each scoop into a tight ball, squeezing to drain excess liquid. Return to the baking sheet and flatten slightly.
Bake for 30 minutes; let cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
