Zesty Orange and Carrot Cookies 🥕
We like this method of getting some extra veg in.
Ingredients
1/2 cup plain flour
1/3 cup oats
1/3 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
1/3 cup sultanas
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup peanut butter
2-3 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp melted coconut oil
Zest of 1 orange
1 medium carrot, grated
1 egg, whisked
60 grams melted dark chocolate, optional
Method
Combine flour, oats, pecans, sultanas, spices, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl, mix well.
Mix peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil and vanilla together in a separate bowl.
Create a well in the centre and add the peanut butter mix, orange zest, grated carrot and egg. Mix well until it forms a cookie dough consistency. It’s ok for it to be a little sticky.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
Shape dough into cookies and arrange on a lined baking tray.
Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
Drizzle with melted chocolate (optional).
Serves 10.
