Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180oC. Line baking sheets with baking paper.

In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, oatmeal, flaxmeal, coconut, hazelnuts and ginger. Mix well. Add carrots, maple syrup and olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon till mixture is well combined and reaches a dough-like consistency.

Shape a tablespoon of dough into a small round disc in the palm of your hand and place on the prepared tray. Place cookie dough at least 1-2 inches apart. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes till golden.

Cool on wire racks and store in an air-tight container for about a week.
