Vegan Breakfast Cookies with Minimal Sugar & No Oil

In addition to being grain-free, gluten-free and vegan, these moist, perfectly sweet treats are also oil-free and nut-free The key is the combination of lots of carrots, unsweetened applesauce, and flaxseed meal.

I added a small amount of raisins, too; I like to chop them up before adding, which allows me to use a small amount while still delivering the sweet bits throughout. You can use any other dried fruit in their place, or leave them out entirely.

I added a sprinkle (only about a teaspoon total; it doesn’t take much) of hemp hearts for a touch of crunch and added beauty; add them or leave them out as you like!

Decadent, frugal, portable, packed with power, this just may be the carrot cake of your power hungry dreams.

Happy baking!
