Dear friends,
For those of you that weren't just being polite, I am posting the recipe for "Breakfast Anytime Cookies." They used to be called Carrot Breakfast Cookies, but doesn't that sound so limiting?
Here's the recipe:
Breakfast Anytime Cookies
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 oil (I used Grapeseed, but you could use anything you like, including butter.)
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest (I would have put this in, but didn't have any at home.)
1/2 cup oats
2/3 cup shredded or grated carrots
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup toasted, chopped pecans or walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; set aside
In a large bowl, mix together the oil, granulated sugar, dark brown sugar and vanilla. When well mixed, add the egg and orange zest and beat for another 20-30 seconds. Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and stir until flour is absorbed. Stir in oats, carrots, raisins and nuts.
Spoon whatever size cookies you'd like onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake about 12-15 minutes (or more for big cookies.)
This isn't that big of a recipe. I tripled it and got four dozen little cookies.
Enjoy with love!
