Peanut butter carrot cookies

Muffin, cookie, pancake, waffle...pretty much the same but cooked in a different way, right?  Yet for some reason, most kids hear cookies and get excited.  Sometimes, it's all about the wording and presentation when offering a new food.  So, let's start a movement to make cookies more nutritious - who's with me? 

And now for the recipe...I made these peanut butter carrot cookies and my two year old loved them.  They tasted great and were nutritious.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup peanut, almond or your favorite nut butter

• 1.5-2 ripe medium bananas

• 1 large egg

• 2 Tbsp unsweetened coconut, honey, agave or your favorite sweetener

• 1/2 cup rolled oats

• 1/4 cup almond flour, teff flour or your favorite flour

• 2 Tbsp (14 g) ground flaxseed or chia seeds

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1-2 large carrots

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 and well grease a cookie sheet or place parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
2.  Add all ingredients to blender or food processor and mix well.
3.  Spoon batter onto cookie sheet, using about 1-1.5 tbsp per cookie.
4.  Bake about 12-14 minutes or until cooked through and enjoy!
