Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, mix together the flax, flour, oats, pecans or walnuts, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and raisins.
In a smaller bowl melt the coconut oil in the oven or microwave for a few seconds. Oil needs to be hot in order to prevent clumping when cold ingredients are added. Add in grated carrots, ginger, maple syrup, applesauce and vanilla. Stir well.
Add wet ingredients to dry and mix well. The dough will be very sticky, don’t worry.
With a spoon, scoop approximately 12 cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or greased with coconut oil). The batter does not spread much so you can place them close together.
Bake for 15 minutes at 350F, then allow to cool on baking sheet.
