This healthy carrot cake recipe brings the classic dessert into the modern age, using natural sweeteners and gluten-free ingredients while still delivering the rich, moist texture we all love.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups grated carrots
2 cups almond flour
1 cup mashed bananas
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, unsweetened applesauce, and eggs until smooth.
Add in the grated carrots and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting.
