Ingredients 🛒
1 cup grated carrots 🥕
1 cup rolled oats 🌾
½ cup almond flour 🌰
¼ cup maple syrup 🍁 (or another natural sweetener)
¼ cup raisins 🍇
¼ cup chopped walnuts 🥜
1 teaspoon cinnamon 🍂
½ teaspoon nutmeg ✨
¼ teaspoon salt 🧂
Instructions 🥄
Step 1: Preheat the Oven 🔥
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients 🥣
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots , rolled oats , almond flour , maple syrup , raisins , chopped walnuts , cinnamon , nutmeg , and salt . Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. The dough will be slightly sticky but should hold together when shaped.

Step 3: Shape the Cookies 🖐️
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form the dough into small, evenly sized balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1-2 inches of space between each cookie. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon to help them bake evenly.

Step 4: Bake the Cookies 🍪
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes , or until the edges turn a light golden brown. The cookies will firm up as they cool, so avoid overbaking.

Step 5: Cool & Enjoy! 😋
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes , then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. These cookies are soft, chewy, and bursting with warm spices and natural sweetness.
