Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup (1 small jar) strained carrot baby food
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup bran cereal flakes
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • 1/3 cup walnut pieces, lightly toasted in a dry skillet for 2 minutes, until fragrant and chopped

Directions

Place rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Whisk together flours, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Combine butter, oil and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on high speed, scraping down sides if necessary, until sugars have dissolved and mixture is light in color, about 1 minute. Add egg, carrot puree and vanilla and beat an additional 30 seconds. Add flour mixture and beat an additional 30 seconds. Add oats, flakes, raisins and walnuts and mix over low speed just until incorporated. Dough will be slightly sticky and less cohesive than traditional cookie dough. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Using between 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter, form a ball and place on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining batter, leaving about 3 inches between cookies. Wet hands and use palm of hand to flatten cookies until about 1/4-inch thick. Bake for 12 minutes, until cookies are fragrant but still soft. Let cookies cool slightly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    This is the closest recipe I have found to my favorite Starbucks Breakfast Cookie! (Starbucks stopped selling them an few years ago and I've been searching ever to find something close, and this I have to say is 90% close! Love this recipe, I'm addicted as I was the Starbucks cookie, love the nutrious factor and tthe taste!

    This was great. The video really help pull everything together and am glad I watched it before making. Suprisingly, one cookie is a full meal. They were very, very tasty - no one knew they were good for them. Also really happy that it made 12 cookies; so I wasn't a slave to the oven for hours. One batch and you're done !!!

    Delicious! Instead of the canola oil, I used 1/4 cup of applesauce. In lieu of butter, I used 2 tbsp of coconut oil. Instead of brown sugar, I used 1/4 cup of agave. Used 2 egg whites instead of the whole egg. And I used 100% whole wheat flour. Turned out great! Would be super yum with coconut flakes, too.
