My family and I love them, especially my husband. He simply adores Carrot Oatmeal Cookies, mostly because they are not too sweet. If you prefer sweeter treats, add some sugar.

Check out the most popular cookies on our blog – Easter Shortbread Cookies and Valentine‘s Maraschino Cherry Shortbread Cookies Carrot combines well with both sweet and salty dishes. It is a well known fact that it is very healthy. I added some pecans, as well, because they are healthy and make cookies crunchy.

There is, also, oats and spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. It is a great combination for a great start of the day. Serve them with a glass of milk, or a cup of tea, or with nothing at all- my favorite.

I love the smell of these cookies while being baked; my home is filled with the combination of wonderful smells, then. I put them in my favorite cookie box and it soon gets empty…

    Need to replace the flour and brown sugar. Will almond flour and maple syrup work?

      Hi Mary,

      thanks for stopping by. You can replace all purpose flour with almond flour in proportion 1:1. To apply maple syrup as a brown sugar alternative, use 2/3 cup of maple syrup for every cup of brown sugar (you should use 1/3 less maple syrup than the amount of sugar).
      You can add a little more flour or oats for greater strength cake.

      Regards,
      Dragana

    The cookies were not sweet, so I mixed together some powdered sugar and the juice of half an orange to make a glaze and topped the cookies, making them a bit sweeter and sooo good!

      Hi,

      I tried with brown sugar and healthier version of cookies. If you prefer sweeter cookies, you can add a ¼ cup of sugar.

    What happens to the cookies when they go past 3 days? Do they go really bad?
