Very tasty lean carrot cookies. Such pastries will certainly please all fasting people, as well as vegans and vegetarians.
I want to share another recipe for sweet pastries with vegetables, and with my favorite recipe! These are cookies made from carrots and cereal flakes (rolled, wheat or multigrain) with the addition of zest and/or spices. Replace all or part of premium wheat flour with others that are more healthy, for example, whole grain. Lenten carrot cookies are quick and easy to prepare, tasty and healthy.
Prepare the ingredients to make Lenten Carrot Cookies.
Ингредиенты
Raw grated carrots - 1.5 cups
Cereals and cereal flakes - 1.5 cups
Flour (various) - about 1.5 cups
Sugar, demerara and/or honey - to taste
Vegetable oil - 0.3 cups
Baking powder - 1 tsp.
Salt - 1 pinch
Additionally upon request:
Orange zest
Cinnamon
Dry or fresh ginger
Vanilla or vanilla sugar
or other spices
Рецепт
1. Wash, peel and chop the raw carrots on a grater or using a blender. Decide what spices you will add? This version contains orange zest and vanilla sugar. It’s better to make your own vanilla sugar. To do this, buy a vanilla bean and stick it whole or its leaves after using the seeds in a jar of sugar. and in a few days you will have at least a whole kg of natural vanilla sugar without any chemicals!
2. Grating carrots turns out juicier than in a blender, so the amount of flour may vary.
3. Pour in odorless vegetable oil, add sugar, demerara and/or honey. Stir.
4. Then add the flakes, salt and selected types of flour with baking powder.
5. Mix until smooth; the dough will be quite rough.
You can immediately form the cookies and bake, or you can leave them for a while so that the cereal flakes swell first.
6. The simplest option: spread the carrot dough on a greased baking sheet in a layer about 1 cm thick. Then outline the future cookies and bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for about 20 minutes or until browned. Since the baked goods are carrots, let the cookies be triangular, stylized to resemble the shape of a carrot...
7. Carrot cookies are ready. Fragrant, tasty, healthy... Enjoy your tea!
