Ingredients

• 1 cup white whole-wheat flour
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. dry ginger
• 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

• 1/2 cup fat-free milk
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 cup grated carrots

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat 2 large baking sheets with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, rolled oats, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.

In a second medium bowl, combine the egg whites, brown sugar, oil, pineapple, milk and vanilla.

Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, then stir to combine. Stir in the raisins, carrots and walnuts.

Drop by the tablespoonful onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches between them. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden around the edges and slightly firm to the touch.
