Ingredients:

1/2 cup of unsalted Organic Butter (room temperature)

3/4 cup of NuNaturals Sweetener Stevia Baking Blend

1/4 cup of Erythritol Crystals (NuNaturals Sweet Health)

2 Eggs

1/2 cup of Applesauce

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

2 1/4 cups of Whole Wheat Pastry Flour

1/2 - 1 tsp Baking Powder

1-1 1/2 cups of Shredded Carrots

1 med sizes Shredded Zucchini

1/2 walnuts

1/2 raisins

1 tsp Cinnamon

1/2 tsp Nutmeg

1 tsp of Ginger (I used fresh grated but you don’t have to)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend together the butter and sugar substitutes (stevia blend and erythritol) until creamy.

Then add the eggs, applesauce and vanilla. Next slowly blend in the flour and add the baking powder. Add in the cinnamon, and optional nutmeg and ginger.

Lastly add the remaining ingredients and blend well together.

Spoon batter on a cookie sheet, about 11 or 12 per sheet.

Bake in over for 6-10 minutes depending on your desired consistency. I liked them on the un-done side.

Once they are done, let them cool before you eat. You can leave them as in or you can top them with some coconut butter or a light cream cheese frosting for a total carrot cake frosted cookie!

Sarah has a lot of great, healthy recipes and informative videos too! I think she's an inspiration.
