Ingredients
- 2/3 cup shredded carrots about 1 to 2 large carrots
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch sea salt
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 egg or flax egg
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup coconut butter melted, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- First, shred carrots. Squeeze out any excess water from carrots. Then, set aside.
- Next, sift together almond flour and tapioca flour in a large mixing bowl.
- Add in coconut flakes, baking soda, sea salt, nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
- Next, add in all remaining ingredients including carrots (except coconut butter).
- Once dough is formed, use a cookie scoop to form 1 inch balls of dough.
- Place dough balls at least 3 inches apart on baking sheet.
- Next, bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until middles are set.
- Cool on pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Once cookies are cooled, melt coconut butter in microwave. Drizzle over cookies.
Notes
- Squeeze out ALL excess water from shredded carrots.
- Dough will be pretty thick.
- To make a flax egg, mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water. Place in fridge to set for 15 minutes. Then, add to batter.
- Coconut butter is not the same as coconut oil. When melted, it resembles icing. It can be bought off Amazon.
