Carrot Cookies

 

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour

1 tsp. non-aluminum baking powder

1/4 tsp. sea salt

1 cup organic oats

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 cup raisins

1 cup grated carrots

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

1/2 cup oil (or prune puree instead for lowfat)

1/2 tsp. vanilla

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl,

combine flour, baking powder, salt and oats. Add nuts, raisins and

carrots and stir. In a large measuring cup, whisk together the maple

syrup, oil and vanilla until well-combined. Stir wet mixture into dry

mixture. Drop batter by rounded teaspoon onto greased cookie sheet and

gently flatten to 1/2 " thick or so. Bake until golden brown, 9 to 11

minutes. Cool 3 minutes on cookie sheet, then transfer to wire rack or

counter to cool completely.

 

 

**I read this trick on another list to reduce the fat content in baked

goods.....sounds super!

 

To reduce fat substitute 1/2 of the oil called for with prune puree. You

make

this by

processing prunes with boiling water until smooth. You won't taste the

prune flavoring at all.
