Servings: 12 large cookies
Calories: 201kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened creamy almond butter see note*
- 2 large eggs see note**
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup finely ground almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup grated apple
- 1/2 cup grated carrot
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup raw walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the almond butter, eggs, pure maple syrup and vanilla extract until creamy.
- In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the almond flour, shredded coconut, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and sea salt.
- Transfer the flour mixture to the mixing bowl with the wet mixture and stir well until combined. Stir in the remaining ingredients (apple, carrot, raisins, walnuts).
- Drop cookie dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet (I like to make the cookies large, but you can make them any size you'd like). Bake 15 minutes, or until cookies are golden-brown around the edges. For crispier cookies, bake 17 to 20 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool 5 minutes and serve.
Notes
*You can also use sunflower seed butter, cashew butter, or any nut/seed butter of your liking.
**Substitute eggs for 2 flax "eggs" to make vegan. For crispier cookies, omit one of the eggs and add 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce.
