Carrot cake bars that are seriously so good and only have 1/4 cup maple syrup to sweeten! A must-try healthy, low-sugar, grain-free, and paleo-friendly vegan recipe.
First, prepare 2 flax eggs by combining 2 tablespoons of flax meal with 6 tablespoons of water and letting it sit to thicken. In a bowl, mix together the prepared flax eggs, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/2 cup applesauce, 2 tablespoons almond butter, 1/4 cup milk of choice, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon each of ginger, cloves, and nutmeg (or other desired spices like cinnamon), 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons of coconut flour, and 1/2 cup shredded carrots. Optionally, add in some chopped nuts to the mixture. Pour the mixture into a baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 27-30 minutes. Once baked and cooled, top the bars with vanilla yogurt as a frosting, and garnish with raisins and more chopped nuts.
