Ingredients
 
 

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper. Melt the butter and allow it to cool as you prep the rest of your ingredients. Grate the carrots finely, and gently blot using a paper towel. Do this twice to absorb the carrot juices and set aside. Then chop the pecans and set aside as well.
    1/2 cup unsalted butter, 3/4 cups pecans chopped, 3/4 cups shredded carrots
  • In a medium-sized bowl, add in flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and baking powder. Stir to combine and set aside.
    1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 1/4 cups rolled oats, 3/4 tsp baking soda, 3/4 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, 1/8 tsp cloves, 1/8 tsp ginger
  • In a large bowl, add in melted and slightly cooled butter, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Whisk together until well combined (about 2-3 minutes).
    3/4 cup dark brown sugar, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • Add in the egg and vanilla, and continue whisking for another 2-3 minutes until paler in colour.
    1 large egg, 1 tsp vanilla
  • Add in the grated carrots and whisk in.
    3/4 cups shredded carrots
  • Mix in the dry ingredients with a spatula. Mix until just combined and no dry streaks appear.
  • Scoop 6 cookies at a time. Add a whole pecan on top of each cookie (optional, but recommended).
  • Bake the cookies for 14-16 minutes or until the edges have set and the inside is still slightly puffy and underbaked. The cookies will remain baking as they cool on the hot pan.
  • These carrot oatmeal maple cookies are best consumed for the first 3 days.
