Vegan No Bake - Carrot Cake Cookies

Yes, it's a mouthful, but so are the cookies!!! I had wanted to experiment in making my own "no bake" type cookies (bonus, you can never burn them!) & this is the first one I came up with! It was certainly different, but it was still yummy (and super good for you!)

Ingredients:

1/2 c ground flax seed
1/4 c wheat germ
1/2 c grated carrots (I used the pulp from my juicer)
1/2 c raisins
3 tbsp agave (although for the nutritional info, I had to use "honey" in the calculator because it wouldn't recognize agave)
2 tbsp nut butter (I used crunchy coconut peanut butter)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
ginger & cinnamon to taste

Put all the ingredients in a bowl (no particular order) & mix until there is  a smooth consistency. Then pinch off a piece of the "dough" & roll into a ball. You can keep it as a ball, or flatten it like a cookie!

This recipe made 12 for me & the nutritional information below is based off of 1 cookie.
