Ingredients
- 2 large egg
- ½ cup almond butter unsweetened
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract pure
- 1 cup almond flour finely ground
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1/3 cup coconut unsweetened, shredded
- 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp salt to taste, sea salt
- ½ cup carrot grated
- ½ cup apple grated
- ½ cup pecans or walnuts, chopped, raw
- ½ cup raisins or dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the eggs, almond butter, avocado oil, and vanilla extract until well combined. If your almond butter has been chilling in the refrigerator, microwave it for 30 seconds, or until it is easy to stir but not too hot. Note: you can also use a food processor to prepare this recipe instead of mixing everything in a large bowl.
- Add the rest of the breakfast bar ingredients to the mixing bowl and mix well until everything is combined and a thick batter forms.
- Spread the carrot cake mixture into an even layer in the prepared baking pan.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the mixture appears to be set up.
