Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine ground flax with water and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with paddle attachment on medium speed, cream together the butter, banana, and both sugars until smooth, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg, flax mixture, and vanilla until combined. Add carrots and mix to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the oats, both flours, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt, whisking to combine well. Gently combine dry mixture to the butter mixture and mix on medium low speed just until incorporated. Hand-stir in the mini chocolate chips and sunflower seeds. Form dough into a ball, cover tightly, and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350F and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone bake mats.
- Form dough into rounded tablespoons and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Press down to form a thick disk, as they won't spread much. Bake 8 minutes or until lightly golden. Will seem underbaked, but they'll set upon cooling. Cool a few minutes on sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool fully.
