OATS-CARROT COOKIES


INGREDIENTS
oats powdered 1 cup approximately
carrot grated fine or I minced in blender about 1/2 cup
brown sugar 1 1/2 tbsp or you may add 3 tbsp or to taste
cinnamon 1/2" or pdr. 1/4 tsp
sugar 1 1/2 tbsp ( as I was feeling lazy to open a new packet, used normal sugar)
ghee/ clarified butter 2 1/2 tbsp ( or soft butter)
Nutella   1 1/2 tbsp approximately
baking pdr.  1/2 tsp 

METHOD
sorry folks, basically never literally measure any ingredient, so approximately 1 cup of oats I powdered first and kept in a bowl
washed and cut carrots into small pieces, then crushed them well in the mixie along with cinnamon piece
I added the minced carrot to oats, added Nutella, mixed well, added brown sugar, mixed well, added ghee , mixed well, then saw it wasn't sweet enough, added some normal sugar,and baking powder,mix well
Pre-heat the oven to 200 deg. C, grease well the baking tray, I just put small blobs of the batter ( it will be thick) on the tray close by, reduced temperature to 170 deg. C and baked for 12 minutes, then saw it was little soft, kept for another 2 minutes, switched off the oven, let it remain in the oven for another minute.
Then gave it hot to taste to hubby, as he is my guinea-pig ! if he approves, then I know, it is good, as he is quite critical, will not taste unless he knows what i give him !

Notes- as for time, it can vary between 12-15 minutes, depending on your oven, mine is a small one, normal OTG.
You may use brown or white sugar, or molasses.
You can even finely grate carrot, as I've pain in my right shoulder due to torn ligament, didn't want to grate, as already I used the mixie to powder oats, so I minced carrots in the mixie.
Nutella is again optional, I just felt like using it, you can use it or peanut butter, or just cocoa powder, then you may need to add more sugar. As none of my recipes, have any hard and fast rule, I like to make do with what I've.
I shared the cookies with my lady friends, they all liked it and asked for the recipe ! It is on the soft side.
