Ingredients
  

For Carrot Cake Bars

  • 1.5 cups almond flour
  • 3/4 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1.5 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 tsp ginger powder
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax + 6tbsp water)
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or other plant milk)
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup raisins

For the Protein Icing

Instructions
 

  • First, make your flax egg. Mix 2 tbsp of ground flax with 6 tbsp of water and let that sit for 10 minutes. It will thicken and become gel-like. This is our egg replacer!
  • Add your dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix until well combined.
  • Add in your wet ingredients and flax egg, and mix again.
  • Grate your carrots and add them to the bowl along with your chopped pecans and raisins. Mix again.
  • Add your batter into a greased or lined 8x8 baking tray and bake at 350f for 30-35 minutes.
  • While your carrot cake bars cook, make your protein icing. Mix coconut yogurt and vegan protein in a small bowl with some lemon juice until you reach your desired consistency.
  • You may need more or less protein, depending on the brand you use. Add as much as you need until you reach an icing consistency.
  • Let your carrot cake bars cool completely and spread on your icing. If you do not, the icing will melt.
  • Top with some extra chopped pecans and enjoy!
