I truly love carrot cake in all forms! First time I made a carrot cake flavored food, was pancakes 🙂 I made them on my birthday morning, five years ago. It’s a great start to a birthday , a new you , and they are a great start to any day actually! And from that day, carrot cake always on my mind! I always save new recipes of carrot cake or carrots recipe in general to my pinterest account.
So be it Muffin, a cake with the cream cheese frosting (between, it’s my least favorite, I feel the frosting take away the good taste of spices) cookies and pancake! Or bars! And that is what I made for YOU today! They are very easy to make, you need one bowl and less than 30 mins to finish!
Carrots
I used carrots in many recipes before here on the blog, sweet and savory! My favorites are , this carrot sweet potato soup, and this carrot cake polenta porridge
