Carrot Muffin Top Cookies

My quest to use those carrots continues. I’ve made plenty of savory dishes so far, but I really wanted to make something sweet that wasn’t your typical carrot cake, and these cookies adapted from Love and Lemons fit the bill!

I’ve been eating these for breakfast this week, and they’re great – a little bit carrot cake, a little bit muffin, a little bit cookie…and slightly less guilt thanks to their wholesome ingredients.

I’m not a raisin person, so I put chocolate chips in them, but if you’re the type who loves raisins in your carrot cake, toss in a handful!

  • 1/2 cup carrots (grated)

Chia Egg

  • 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds (ground)

Chia Seed Egg
Whisk together ground chia seeds and water. Chill until it reaches the consistency of a raw egg white, about 15 minutes.
Cookies
Using the dough blade of a food processor, gently mix carrots, coconut oil, brown sugar, vanilla, and chia seed egg. Add flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix until just combined. Chill for 20 minutes. Fold in oats, chocolate chips, and walnuts.
