Instructions
Carrot Cake Bars
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9x13 dish with parchment paper so that the paper hangs over the sides. This helps to easily remove them once baked. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients - almond flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, allspice, salt and baking soda.
- In another bowl, mix together the wet ingredients - melted coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until everything is well incorporated and there are no dry pockets left. The batter will be thick.
- Fold in carrots, raisins and 1 cup chopped walnuts. Spread the batter evenly in the baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool.
Cream Cheese Frosting (see Notes for Paleo version)
- While the carrot cake bars are baking, make the frosting. Combine the cream cheese and butter in a medium mixing bowl and mix with a mixer for a minute. Add powdered sugar in batches until frosting is smooth and creamy.
- Once cake is cooled, spread cream cheese frosting evenly over the cake. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup chopped walnuts on top and refrigerate for about 1 hour or until frosting is firm.
Notes
- *For a Paleo-friendly option, use this Coconut Cashew Cream Cheese Frosting.
