Ingredients:
Cookies
- ½ cup cashew butter
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup sprouted rolled oats
- ½ cup oat flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- Sea salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup diced Autumn Glory apples
- Handful of shredded carrots
- Handful of chopped pecans or walnuts
Cream cheese glaze
- ¼ cup cream cheese (dairy-free/almond-based if needed)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons cashew milk to thin
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the coconut oil and cashew butter. Microwave for about 30 seconds and allow to cool. In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, oats, baking soda and set aside.
- Whisk together the coconut oil, cashew butter, coconut sugar, and egg until a thick mixture forms. Pour into the oats and mix until a cookie dough forms. Fold in the shredded carrots, apples, and chopped nuts. Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto a baking sheet (about 2 tablespoon-sized balls) and repeat until no batter remains. Lightly press down the cookies and bake for 15 minutes.
- While the cookies cool, make the glaze by whisking together the cream cheese, cashew milk, and maple syrup. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking tray for at least 15 minutes before cooling on a rack. Do not skip this step! Drizzle with glaze and enjoy.
