Instructions
- Preheat the oven for 350 F
- In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas, then add almond butter, vanilla extract, and grated carrots. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together oats, oat flour, coconut sugar, spices, and baking soda.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients with a spatula. Fold in raisins and walnuts.

- Sprinkle extra grated carrots on top.

Notes
- *You can make your own oat flour using quick oats in a blender. Simply pulse oats in a food processor until fine flour texture.
- In step 3, I used a 1.5 inch cookie dough scooper like this one.
