Bestanddele
- 1 koppie Gerasperde Wortel
- ⅓ koppie Appelmoes - (aantekening 2)
- ½ koppie amandel botter - (aantekening 3)
- ½ koppie Esdoringstroop - (aantekening 4)
- 1 teelepel Kaneel
- ¼ teelepel Ginger
- 1 teelepel Vanielje-ekstrak
- 2 koppies Vinnige hawer - (aantekening 1)
opsioneel
- ¼ teelepel Sout
- ⅓ koppie Okkerneute - chopped, (note 5)
- ⅓ koppie Gedroogde rosyne
instruksies
- Voorverhit die oond tot 350 ° F (180 ° C).
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly oil it with cooking oil spray. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add grated carrots, applesauce, almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla extract.
- Stir with a wooden spoon until consistent.
- Fold in the quick oats, chopped walnuts, dried raisins, and salt.
- Stir again until it forms a moist sticky cookie dough. Set it aside for 10 minutes to allow the oat fiber to absorb the liquid and firm up the dough.
- Stir again a few times, and form 12 even cookie dough balls. I like to slightly oil my hands to roll the dough as it's messy and sticky. Place each ball on the prepared cookie sheet leaving two inches of space between them.
- Oil a square of parchment paper, place the oiled side on top of the cookie dough ball and press with something flat to flatten the cookie evenly. I am using the back of a measuring cup, but a smooth bottom glass works too. Press into a 0.2-inch thick cookie so the edges and top will crisp more and the center stays moist.
- Bake the cookies in the center rack of the oven for 18-22 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until golden-brown on the edges.
- Let them cool down on the baking sheet for 20 minutes at room temperature, without touching the cookies. They firm up as they cool down.
Notes
Let 1: I don’t recommend rolled oats, it makes the cookie dough fragile and it doesn’t firm up well. That’s why I recommend a finer version of oats called quick oats. You can also make it yourself, pulse rolled oats a few times in a food processor to form a thinner texture, and use them in the recipe as quick oats. Use gluten-free certified oats if needed.
Let 2: Or mashed banana.
Nota 3: Any nut butter works, including unsalted peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
Let 4: Any syrup works, apple syrup adds an extra apple flavor, but feel free to use maple syrup or agave syrup.
Nota 5: Or chopped pecans, almonds, or sunflower seeds for a nut-free option.
Storage: Store the cookies in the fridge, in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze in Ziploc bags for up to 1 month.

You only need a few wholesome ingredients for this recipe. Here’s how to pick and swap them.
- Gerasperde Wortel – It brings moisture and a subtle sweetness, plus a boost of vitamin A and fiber.
- Appelmoes – This adds moisture and natural sweetness. Mashed banana also works fine.
- amandel botter – It provides healthy fats, protein, and binding properties. You can also use unsalted peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
- Esdoringstroop – It sweetens the cookies naturally. Apple syrup or agave syrup are fine too but avoid crystal sugars.
- Kaneel – This adds warm, sweet spice.
- Ginger – It brings a subtle spicy note.
- Vanielje-ekstrak – Vir geur.
- Vinnige hawer – These provide structure and fiber. I don’t recommend swapping for rolled oats or steel-cut oats.
- Okkerneute – They contribute a nutty flavor and crunch. Chopped pecans, almonds, or sunflower seeds also work.
- Gedroogde rosyne – These add sweetness and chewiness. You can also use dried cranberries.

Let me share a few more tips for the very best cookies.
- Proteïenversterking – Swap the walnuts for hemp hearts or seeds to increase the protein content.
- Geurvariasies – Replace the dried raisins with chopped nuts, seeds, or chocolate chips for different flavors.
- Fruit Substitute – Use mashed banana instead of applesauce to change the cookie’s flavor profile.
- Moervrye opsie – Swap almond butter with peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter, and replace walnuts with sunflower seeds.
- Oat Texture – Quick oats are essential for the cookie’s structure. If you don’t have them, pulse rolled oats in a food processor until they are finely chopped but not flour.
- Klewerige Deeg – Lightly oil your hands to make rolling the sticky dough easier.
- Even Thickness – Use a flat-bottomed glass or measuring cup to press the cookies to an even thickness for consistent baking.
- Koeltyd – Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet to firm up before handling.
Do you use unsweet applesauce or regular applesauce?
Yes, unsweetened applesauce. But you can definitely achieve the same result in texture using sweetened apple sauce, the cookies will simply be sweeter.
Thank you so much for this recipe
