1 cup (100g) instant oats (measured like this and gluten-free if necessary)

¾ cup (90g) whole wheat or gluten-free* flour (measured like this)

1 ½ tsp baking powder

1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon

⅛ tsp salt

2 tbsp (28g) coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

1 large egg, room temperature

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup (120mL) pure maple syrup

¾ cup (68g) grated carrots (about 1 smallish medium, peeled first!)

In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, egg, and vanilla. Stir in the maple syrup until thoroughly incorporated. Add in the flour mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Fold in the carrots. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. (If chilling longer, cover with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the entire surface of the cookie dough.) In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Preheat the oven to 325°F, and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

Drop the cookie dough into 14 rounded scoops on the baking sheet. Flatten slightly using a spatula. (The cookies don't spread very much!) Bake at 325°F for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.

note: Notes: It’s incredibly important to measure both the oats and flour correctly, using a kitchen scale or the spoon-and-level method described in the link above. If scooped from the container using the measuring cup, you’ll end up with 1.5 times as much, which will dry out your cookies and make them crumbly.
