Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until combined. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter or coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually mix in the pure maple syrup.
  3. Carefully stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the freshly grated carrots.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 325°F.
  5. Once the oven has heated, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Prepare your cookie scoop.
  6. Using the cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.

  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
