Raw Carrot Cake Bars | VG | GF | RSF | RAW
Ingredients
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup pitted soft medjool dates
1/2 cup raw walnuts
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tbsp date syrup
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup raw cashews (soaked in hot water for 30 minutes or overnight in cold water)
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp cashew milk (any non dairy milk or water will do)
Instructions
First shred your carrots and then add those to a food processor along with the pitted dates, walnuts, coconut, date syrup, and spices. Pulse a few times and then process until everything begins to stick together.
In a small baking dish lined with parchment paper, spread the mixture into an even layer in the dish. Set in the freezer while you make the frosting.
In a high speed blender, add in the soaked and drained cashews along with the lemon juice, maple syrup, and cashew milk. Blend until smooth (you may need to add in a little water or more cashew milk to blend).
Pour the frosting over the base layer and then set in the freezer at least 4 hours or over night. Cut into bars and top with some spices or more walnuts if desired. Enjoy! Keep stored in the fridge or freezer in an air tight container.
