Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, coconut oil, agave nectar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until everything is well combined. In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and cloves. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until it forms a dough. Next, fold in the oats, grated carrots, and raisins. Drop spoonfuls of dough—about 1 to 2 tablespoons each—onto a baking sheet. Bake for around 15 minutes, or until the edges turn a nice golden brown. Let the cookies cool a bit before enjoying!
