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.

Excellent! Very satisfying breakfast for busy people!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a wonderful on the go breakfast! I followed the recipe as written and it was very easy (and I'm a horrible cook).... Almost all of the ingredients you'll readily have on hand. It's moist and the flavors are very comforting--cinnamon, nutmeg, walnuts. Thank you Ellie for creating healthy recipes without sacrificing taste. Read more

Great Breakfast Cookie
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These cookies are such a great and healthy treat for breakfast on the go. They taste fantastic. I used whole wheat flour... in place of the 1/2 cup all purpose flour to make them even more healthy; I also just steamed some carrots and pureed them instead of using the baby food and they came out great. I think craisins would be a good substitute for the raisins just to change them up a bit. Thanks Ellie for another great recipe.Read more

Just like on TV
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Follow the directions to the "T" and you will have soft, chewy, yummy goodness. They are not too sweet which makes them... perfect for breakfast and because of the cinnamon and nutmeg you feel like you are having a treat!Read more
