My husband is a huge fan of carrot cake. I have already made some carrot cake larabars and also a carrot cake baked oatmeal, but I decided to try some Frosted Carrot Cake Bars. I don’t even like carrot cake, but I thought these came out really good! They are so easy to make too. No cooking required!
These frosted carrot cake bars are vegan, gluten free and paleo. They only take a few minutes to whip up.
If you are a visual person, I created a video on how to make the frosting.
