6 servings if the pieces are larger. mine were on the smaller side!

Ingredients

  • 1 and 3/4 cups gluten free oat flour

  • 1 cup almond flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar

  • 1/2 tbsp cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp cardamom

  • 1/3 cup runny almond butter

  • 1/2 cup dairy free milk

  • 1/2 cup mashed overripe banana

  • 1 cup grated carrots

  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract

  • 1/3 cup vegan greek yogurt

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

  • 1/2 cup raisins

  • vegan cream cheese or frosting for topping

Directions

  • pre heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • cut the carrots into smaller pieces and add the carrots to a food processor. blend on high until a finely grated texture forms.
  • in a large mixing bowl, add the wet ingredients and then add the dry ones. then, mix in the carrots, raisins and walnuts until a thick batter forms.
  • place the batter in a parchment lined 8 x 8 baking tray and bake for 35 minutes. allow the cake to cool down completely for at least 30-40 minutes. this is important so it sets and holds it’s shape when you cut into the cake.
  • add vegan cream cheese or frosting to the top if you want, cut into pieces and store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
