Why This Dish Is So Satisfying
These cookies are a wholesome treat that combines the natural sweetness of carrots and raisins with the hearty texture of oats. They offer a delicious way to enjoy a snack that feels both comforting and nourishing.
Directions
Gently heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, coconut oil, agave nectar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until everything is well combined. In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and cloves. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until it forms a dough. Then, fold in the oats, grated carrots, and raisins. Scoop out spoonfuls of dough—about 1 to 2 tablespoons each—onto a baking sheet, spacing them a little apart. Pop the tray into the oven and bake for around 15 minutes, or until the edges turn a nice golden brown. Let the cookies cool for a bit before enjoying!
