3. The Perfect Healthy Breakfast or Dessert

This paleo carrot cake recipe is so healthy. Gluten-free, grain-free, refined sugar-free, dairy-free but not free of deliciousness.

 

What makes this Carrot Cake Recipe Healthy?

 

 

1. Refined Sugar-Free

I sweetened it with baked sweet potatoes. It is sweet enough for me especially when you get a mouthful of raisins and coconut butter.

However, if you have more of a sweet tooth, adding 2-3 tbsp maple syrup will be a healthy and delicious option for these paleo carrot cake bars as well.

2. Gluten-Free

I used almond flour and coconut flour for this carrot cake recipe. So it is naturally gluten-free.

3. Dairy-Free

I used coconut oil instead of butter. So there is no dairy product used in this carrot cake recipe.

 

Easy Dairy-Free Cream Cheese “Frosting”

 

 

I have been loving this easy and simple 4-ingredient Cashew Cream Cheese Frosting that is made with raw cashews, coconut milk, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar. It pairs so well with my paleo and vegan gingerbread cake and, of course, this carrot cake. 

It is sweet, nutty and a little tangy. 

You can find the recipe in this post and use it as a healthy frosting!

 

How to Store these Paleo Carrot Cake Bars?

1. Store these carrot cake bars in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
2. Or you can freeze it for as long as you want. I always make a big batch and freeze them.

And they taste like ice cream bars.
