Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, stir together oats, flour, flaxseed, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt.
3
In a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), egg and vanilla. Mix in the melted butter.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the grated carrot and apple.
5
Use a large scoop or measuring cup to drop 1/4-cup portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Use your fingers to gently shape the cookies and flatten slightly, as they won't flatten on their own during baking.
6
Bake 14-15 minutes, until set and lightly golden. (If baking more than one pan at a time, be sure to rotate the pans halfway through the baking time.)
7
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
