Ainekset
- 1 kuppi Grated Carrot
- ⅓ kuppi omenasose - (huomautus 2)
- ½ kuppi Manteli voi - (huomautus 3)
- ½ kuppi Vaahterasiirappi - (huomautus 4)
- 1 teelusikka Kaneli
- ¼ teelusikka Inkivääri
- 1 teelusikka Vaniljauute
- 2 kupit Pikakaurahiutaleet - (huomautus 1)
Suosittelijan tunnus
- ¼ teelusikka Salt
- ⅓ kuppi Saksanpähkinät - chopped, (note 5)
- ⅓ kuppi Kuivatut rusinat
Ohjeet
- Kuumenna uuni 180 °C:een.
- 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.
Huomautuksia
Huomautuksia 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.
Huomautuksia 2: Or mashed banana.
Huom 3: Any nut butter works, including unsalted peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
Huomautuksia 4: Any syrup works, apple syrup adds an extra apple flavor, but feel free to use maple syrup or agave syrup.
Huom 5: Or chopped pecans, almonds, or sunflower seeds for a nut-free option.
Varastointi: 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.

- Grated Carrot – It brings moisture and a subtle sweetness, plus a boost of vitamin A and fiber.
- omenasose – This adds moisture and natural sweetness. Mashed banana also works fine.
- Manteli voi – 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.
- Vaahterasiirappi – It sweetens the cookies naturally. Apple syrup or agave syrup are fine too but avoid crystal sugars.
- Kaneli – Tämä lisää lämpimän, makean maun.
- Inkivääri – It brings a subtle spicy note.
- Vaniljauute – Maun vuoksi.
- Pikakaurahiutaleet – These provide structure and fiber. I don’t recommend swapping for rolled oats or steel-cut oats.
- Saksanpähkinät – They contribute a nutty flavor and crunch. Chopped pecans, almonds, or sunflower seeds also work.
- Kuivatut rusinat – These add sweetness and chewiness. You can also use dried cranberries.

Carinen leivontavinkkejä
Let me share a few more tips for the very best cookies.
- Proteiini Boost – Swap the walnuts for hemp hearts or seeds to increase the protein content.
- Maku muunnelmia – 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.
- Pähkinätön vaihtoehto – 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.
- Tahmea taikina – Lightly oil your hands to make rolling the sticky dough easier.
- Tasainen paksuus – Use a flat-bottomed glass or measuring cup to press the cookies to an even thickness for consistent baking.
- Jäähdytysaika – 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.
