Alcuni degli Biscotti alla torta di carote are simple and healthy cookies made no eggs, no refined sugar, and no dairy but with all the traditional carrot cake flavors.
I love simple and healthy cookies, like my Biscotti al limone salutari, Biscotti morbidi alla banana con 4 ingredienti, o Healthy Oatmeal Cookies, but I also love carrot cake flavors so I decided to make carrot cake cookies.

Biscotti alla torta di carote
Ingredienti
- ⅔ bicchiere Grated Carrot
- ½ bicchiere Salsa di mele non zuccherata - (nota 1)
- ⅓ bicchiere Olio di cocco fuso - (note 2) use refined coconut oil for no coconut flavors
- ½ bicchiere Zucchero Di Cocco - (nota 3)
- 1 cucchiaino da tè Estratto di vaniglia - opzionale
- 1 cucchiaino da tè Cannella
- ¼ cucchiaino da tè Ginger
- 1 bicchiere Farina a lievitazione spontanea - (nota 4)
- ¼ bicchiere Uva passa essiccata - (nota 5)
- ¼ bicchiere Noci tritate - (nota 6)
Optional Icing and decoration
- ½ bicchiere Zucchero a velo
- 1 cucchiaio Latte di mandorla
- ¼ cucchiaino da tè Estratto di vaniglia
- 2 cucchiai Anacardi tritati
Istruzioni
- Preriscalda il forno a 180 °C (350 °F). Rivesti una teglia grande con carta da forno. Metti da parte.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the grated carrots, applesauce, melted and cooled coconut oil, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and ginger. Stir well to combine.
- Fold in the self-rising flour, dried raisins, and chopped walnuts.
- Stir for a few times until the dough is smooth and thick.
- Form 12 cookie dough balls of the same size and place them on the baking sheet leaving them an inch apart.
- Lightly oil your hand and press down the top of each cookie dough ball to form flatter cookies. These cookies expand in the oven so make sure they are not placed too close or they will touch each other as they bake.
- Bake the cookies on the center rack for 16-19 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until the sides are nicely golden brown.
- Lasciateli raffreddare sulla griglia per 15 minuti prima di trasferirli su una griglia di raffreddamento.
- If you want to decorate the cookies, wait until they reach room temperature – cold to the touch.
- Stir the powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and thick.
- Drizzle on top of the cooled cookies, then add a pinch of crushed cashews.
Note
Alimentazione
Ingredienti e sostituzioni
You only need a few ingredients for these cookies. Here’s how to pick them (and swap them if you need).

- Grated Carrot – This provides the signature carrot cake flavor and moisture.
- Salsa di mele non zuccherata – It acts as a binder and adds moisture. Mashed banana also works.
- Olio di cocco fuso – This adds moisture and richness. Refined coconut oil (for no coconut flavor), light olive oil, or melted plant-based butter also work.
- Zucchero Di Cocco – It sweetens the cookies and adds a subtle caramel flavor. Any crystal sweetener like sugar, brown sugar, or demerara sugar works. Maple syrup makes them more gummy.
- Estratto di vaniglia – Ciò esalta il sapore complessivo.
- Cannella – It adds a warm, sweet spice and totally necessary for carrot cake flavors.
- Ginger – This adds a bit of zing and complements the cinnamon.
- Farina a lievitazione spontanea – This provides structure and lift. I don’t recommend almond flour or coconut flour. For a gluten-free option, use my convertitore senza glutine, ma non dimenticate il lievito in polvere.
- Uva passa essiccata – These add sweetness and chewiness. Hemp seeds or more chopped nuts are fine. You can also use dried cranberries.
- Noci tritate – These add texture and nuttiness. Sunflower seeds or other nuts like cashews, almonds, or pecans are fine.
- Zucchero a velo – This is used for the icing, adding sweetness and a smooth texture. You can use a sugar-free alternative like powdered allulose if you prefer.
- Latte di mandorla – This is used to thin the icing. Any dairy-free milk works, like cashew milk, oat milk, or soy milk.
- Anacardi tritati – These are used as a decorative topping.

I consigli di Carine per la pasticceria
Ecco qualche altro consiglio per biscotti perfetti.
- Spinta proteica – Swap raisins for hemp seeds to increase the protein content.
- Nut Variety – Use a mix of nuts like pecans, almonds, walnuts, or cashews for a richer flavor.
- Icing Addition – Add the icing and chopped nuts on top for enhanced taste and presentation.
- Spice Enhancement – Add 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg for a deeper spice flavor.
- Tempo di raffreddamento – Allow cookies to cool completely before icing.
- Cookie Size – Ensure cookies are spaced to allow for spreading.
- Senza dado – Sunflower seeds are a great substitute for nuts.







Turned out fantastic and hubby approved! The only changes I made was a swap with avocado oil and I soaked my raisins. Can’t wait to try different add ins.
That’s so nice that hubby approve them too! thanks for the nice review.
