carrot cake lovers, let’s chat about No Bake Vegan Protein Carrot Cake!✨ THIS is a dreamy dessert if you love carrot cake as much as i do.
guess what? you don’t even have to turn on your oven!
imagine biting into a chewy, grainy goodness that combines the sweetness of medjool dates, the crunchiness of walnuts, and the earthiness of baby carrots.
the blend of vanilla protein powder, oat flour, and runny almond butter is SO good and really makes that “cake” flavor.
add in the warm notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a dash of ground cloves, and you’ve got classic carrot cake flavors without having to bake a cake.
the texture? think thick, fudgy, doughy, and slightly grainy, with the surprise crunch of carrot pieces and chewy raisins.
it’s a really satisfying mix that keeps you coming back for more.
creating these bars is easy easy, promise!
simply toss all your ingredients into a food processor – protein powder, oat flour, almond butter, dairy-free milk, walnuts, dates, spices, and baby carrots.
see the directions for the order and blend until a thick dough forms.
if it’s too wet, throw in more oat flour; too dry, a splash of almond milk. fold in raisins for that extra burst of sweetness.
line a pan with parchment paper, spread your dough evenly, and pop it into the freezer for three hours.
take it out, slather on vegan cream cheese, freeze for an extra hour, then cut into slices.
now, let’s talk toppings.
the vegan cream cheese gives a cool, tangy contrast to the sweet bars.
but why stop there? if you want something more indulgent, opt for frosting!
perhaps a dairy-free option with a hint of citrus for a zesty orange twist?
what i love to do is take store bought vanilla frosting like simple mills and add fresh orange or lemon zest.
you can easily combine the frosting and zest by whipping the mixture in a food processor!
another great option would be to drizzle with a glaze or sprinkle shredded coconut on top.
want a different presentation?
mold these goodies into cups instead of a traditional cake.
use a muffin tin, and voilà – portable, bite-sized delights perfect for snacking on the go.
get creative with your carrot cake protein bars.
swap out raisins for dried cranberries or chopped dates.
play with nut butters – sunflower, cashew, or even coconut.
for a nut-free option, consider seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
the possibilities are endless, and you can tailor these bars to fit your taste preferences and dietary needs.

Just made this and it’s DELICIOUS. I was curious if I could bake these, and if so what temperature/time should I bake them at?
hi! yay! it’s not meant for baking 🙂
Tried this tonight and it came out so good!
