Recipe Summary
This recipe packs the comforting flavors of carrot cake in a healthy cookie to start your day. Yes, healthy! Breakfast cookies might sound like a crazy idea, but when you consider how sugary many muffins are, these are downright restrained. In fact, there's less than half a tablespoon of maple syrup in each cookie. Plus, the recipe is made up of wholesome, fiber-rich ingredients, which mitigate the release of added sugar into your blood stream. This includes rolled oats, almond flour, walnuts, and a shower of shredded carrots. The result is a batch of tasty treats for your morning (make-ahead!) meal on the go.

In a Nutshell
Gluten-free almond flour is simply very finely ground blanched almonds. It provides sustained energy thanks to its combo of protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Plus, it gives baked goods an irresistible tenderness and a subtle nutty flavor.
