Indulgent Plant-Based Carrot Cake Bars 🥕 Cake for Breakfast?!

[@nicolemalone5982]

JILL DOES IT AGAIN!!!! I just had to make this recipe right away, because my husband told me he loves carrot cake, and I never even made him wine before, but this recipe I could get behind! I do not even have much of a sweet tooth at all, but let me tell you, thank God these are filling because I think I would have polished off the whole pan, and I am not that kind of person whatsoever when it comes to desserts!!!! my husband, of course loved it as well! I didn’t think I was going to be crazy about the pineapple, but it actually is amazing that way… Frosting is amazing… All around, amazing… This is a keeper! Thank you for once again knocking it out of the park, Jill! You always have the best recipes!😋👍🏻💕

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

I’m so glad you both liked them 😊

[@giulias.5104]

Made this morning for the Easter breakfast with friends. It was a success! We all love it! The balance of flavors is on point, thank you Jill! Happy Easter to all from Assisi, Italy 🕊🐰🥕🍍💗

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Yay! Happy Easter to you all in Assisi!

[@brendabeaudette-kaim6591]

I made these the other day and let me tell you all; the addition of the pineapple really takes this delicious dessert to another level!! Oh, and the frosting? Heavenly!! I (reluctantly) served my last square to a friend who is not WFPB and I quote, "Oh, these are good, oh these are REALLY good!" My response was, "Told ya!" ☺ Thank you again, Jill!!! ♥

[@kimberlygritman1790]

PLANT BASED COOKING SHOW....YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY!!!!! I AM NOT A BAKER, BUT, I CAN HANDLE THIS!!!!!! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR VARIETY IN RECIPES AND RELATED CONTENT! YOU ARE ON POINT! ❤

[@iyouitry]

Even before I watch it I can tell that it is one of the best plant based carrot cake recipe ever! Thank you for all the efforts on this! Amazing Channel

[@cozyteascones8978]

Absolutely delicious. I like to freeze them, then thaw a bar for a short time (still cold), then place sliced strawberries on top. Heaven.

[@ahimsainthekitchen]

When I first saw Jill's post on Instagram for this recipe, I already knew it would be AMAZING!!! Jill's recipes are so delicious, tasty and healthy. I bring her goodies to work, and people go crazy over them. My family LOVES all her recipes. I am making them today as our Sunday dessert. Thank you again :o) for another amazing recipe.

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

That is so great to hear Ahimsa! 😃

[@jeandixon586]

Ahimsa ... non-violence in your kitchen. Way to go! ♥️🐂🐷🐄♥️

[@daves5445]

Looks like another great dessert option! Have to refrain from making this recipe a single serving size. Thanks for another great recipe.

[@nazokashii]

I love carrots and carrot cake :D thank you for sharing, how pretty

[@sheryljohnson9540]

Oh, my, these are Scrumptious, Jill!! I only had pineapple tidbits, so I added them to the blender with the soy milk, dates, etc and it worked beautifully. My husband absulutely loved these and couldn't believe they are whole food and plant based! Another winner from Jill's kitchen. Thank you thank you!!!!

[@veganmarina6017]

I like carrot very much.

[@ikasugami8066]

Jill: "it's up to you how much frosting you use..." Me: "ALL OF IT" 😋

[@lenakrupinski6303]

Hi Jill 🌻💗 I have to say this recipe is truly magnificent !!! The longer you leave the bars the better they are , must be the spices !! & whilst enjoying these bars they are doing your body & mind good & not piling on the calories💚 Your a genius cook !! 🙏💚🙏

[@chelseacromwell2551]

Jill, this looks fantastic! Now my plan to make for a group meeting. I'll have to double the batch, but that's ok! 😀

[@scienceislove2014]

I always love to see you eat and react! I always look frward to your taste test!

[@donnatecce1884]

Right??? It's the best part! Mouth watering.

[@SPEAKSB]

That frosting is so good!!! I’ve made it before it’s so delicious I actually use it on toast with Jam

[@michellefox7441]

These are fantastic! I snacked on them and had them for breakfast too! The frosting is amazing! They make super cute mini muffins for the lunch box too! Thank you, Jill!

[@kosoconnor3959]

I tried this recipe last night. It turned out stellar without the frosting. I tried another vegan cake before this not from Jill my husband refused to eat it. This one he has asked me to make it again.

[@daenerystargaryen]

Can't wait to try this. Think I'm gonna also add a cup of golden raisins in it.

[@barbaramartinetti]

What a yummy recipe to do alongside kids. Carrots, walnuts and oats...Oh My! Jill....you are terrific!

[@tisharodriguez9541]

I would add raisins too.

[@desiliana2925]

Thank you very much for this recipe! Ive been looking for this especially together with the plant based frosting on top!! Oh heaven ❤❤🎉

[@carolinehorne6505]

Thank you Jill made the carrot cake tonight and it is lovely, will make again. Just starting my plant based journey and found the topping not sweet but still enjoyed having it with the cake. Maybe my taste buds need to adjust to less sugar. Xx

[@veggieveggie01]

Yummy! I'm looking forward to trying this recipe.

[@BirdieMcLovin]

I recently had to quit sugar and my birthday is coming up...I think I found a perfect birthday dessert with these! Carrot cake is one of my faves.

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Happy birthday!

[@BirdieMcLovin]

Thank you! And I appreciate your cooking show 💚

[@brendabeaudette-kaim6591]

Had some carrots I needed to use and wanted to make a dessert so I made these!! So very good! The icing makes it. Great job, once again, Jill. So grateful to you for making cooking so fun and healthy!❤

[@rhondafox64]

I Made these today, except, I used 3/4 cup oat flour, 3/4 cup almond flour, and 1 1/4 cups dates... And it came out excellent and perfect! Tastes amazing too! I don't like to make vegan cakes and vegan donuts with oat flour only cuz it tastes too much like baked oatmeal... I think the oat flour and almond flour go great together! This recipe is a keeper!!

[@Timmysvegankitchen]

Yummy I will make it on Thursday

[@maryannmatteson8401]

Delicious is right !!! Thank you Jill !!!✝️❤️❤️🙏🏻

[@mmakomanyatja5213]

[@susanhaunch138]

Omg this is absolutely delicious, my neighbour came across told her I had just made these, we tried them together and we just looked at each other and kept going mmmmm they are that good thank you so much love them.

[@justeatplantsnike]

[@dickinsontanner]

My goodness.... I need to make these.

[@lindas7146]

Oooooo pineapple in carrot cake!! sounds and looks yummy!! Thanks Jill

[@MmMm-cz2ul]

Fantastic ❤

[@lenakrupinski6303]

Hi Jill , that s looks great . My daughter bought me vegan carrot cake from Star bucks I think it was just before lockdown s and it was so nice a bit like Christmas cake. But now they've changed the recipe. Anyways this kind of looks like the kind of recipe I'm looking for with the spices & I love pineapples . I have all the ingredients apart from carrots , I will be making this tomorrow !! 🌻💚🌿💚🌷🌿🌻

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Looks delicious. Thanks Jill ❤

[@gigielizabeth5636]

Oh how divine !!

[@aliyahg.8729]

Great recipe! For the frosting i added a drop of cherry concentrate and then it reallyy tasted like chream cheese frosting!

[@martyrichard3092]

looks delicious...like everything you make!

[@greenagervegancookingwithm6429]

My house smells AMAZING!!! Just pulled this out of the oven… Yum! Can’t wait to dig in. I don’t have all the ingredients for the frosting, so we are just going to eat it as the cake that it is ha hab

[@turnerkatrina8]

Apple substituted for the pineapple? Only because I have home grown apples.

[@Amelia-qm6bk]

Carrot cake is my favourite. Did you use fresh or frozen pineapple? Thanks. Must make this

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Frozen

[@danielanereu3799]

Yummy yummy my fave cake:) Thanks

[@maritzavalverde5975]

My favorite carrot cake! ❤

[@MaryDavidson911]

Yummy!

[@angelatillman4323]

Is there something else you can use instead of pineapple

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Diced apple

[@juliesykes6121]

Allergic to pineapple. Will use apple. Delicious

[@samanthamerchant702]

Thanks for the video can you show me flatbread using canned chickpeas

[@monicaorbegoso2534]

Looks amazing !!!! Can’t wait to try this recipe out … I have really enjoyed all your recipes because they are so wholesome and healthy and fit perfectly in my chosen vegan wfpb lifestyle ❤

[@shelleyanne3522]

Haven't watched yet. But keen too as I have been wanting to make a carrot cake

[@northwestlife2794]

Yum

[@gary20070131]

Oh wow these bars are so good, so tasty, not crumbly! Thanks for the recipe. The only problem is that I want to eat them all 😂

[@beybslifeintheus494]

Looking yummy

[@oliveostrich903]

This looks wonderful ! Can you use defrosted frozen pineapple ? If so, should the juice be added with it ?? Thanks guys !!💗💗

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Yes, but drain the juice.

[@donnatecce1884]

Jill I often use medjool dates. Would I use less if large? Is there a ratio of deglet vs medjool? Ty

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

1 medjool usually equals 2 deglet 👍

[@ingridmonkhouse3669]

Hi Jil can I ground up the small flakes oats into flour for this cake.please let me know.

[@carolinehorne6505]

Hi Jill do you have a recipe for a plain cake than I could add caraway seeds too, love seed cake. X

[@robinmeares8019]

I love your sweet treats and please keep them coming. However, I do have a question - - with the price of everything now and the amount of cashews and dates used in everything, where do you buy these? Do you buy these in bulk somewhere that you can share? thank you

[@shelleygiesbrecht4759]

Would sunflower seeds work in the frosting instead of cashews?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Yes

[@thekingschildsx]

Jill, your recipes are really good, but you are really outdoing yourself these days! I made these cake bars this morning and they were delicious! I did not even make the frosting, but they were so good both warm and at room temperature. It was hard to resist eating the whole pan full. Thank you for this yummy recipe.

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Glad you like them!

[@corysmama1]

This looks amazing. Would this be a Gluten Free?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Yes!

[@karenseale9372]

Inspired!

[@Thats_Right80]

Do you use low sodium baking powder and baking soda. What brand if u do???

[@dianabryan7421]

What if you have no baking soda?

[@carolinehorne6505]

What is the best way to store the carrot cake with the frosting?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

In an airtight container in the fridge

[@kittywitty6507]

My frosting came out looking brown yours look white 🤔 still tasted good though.

[@gary20070131]

Hi Jill, I made the carrot cake yesterday. I did shred my carrots very finely and I wasn’t sure about the pineapple if I had to drain it well ? The taste was really good but the texture was a little heavy. Do you think it was cause by too much carrots and juice from pineapple? Thanks! I had to freeze some pieces because I would eat it all😂

[@silviachines8651]

Amazing recipe! BUT... ...Are those carrot earrings? If yes please post the link 🥺😍

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

[@JenniferSmith-vj3vf]

How do you store this ?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

I keep them in a glass storage container in the fridge. They should last for a week.

[@Fairy-door-78-86]

Delicious I made some yesterday. Should they be stored in the fridge and for how long ? Storage is a question I always ask as there are only 2 of us in the house to eat everything :)

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Yes, keep them in the fridge. They will be good for about a week

[@Fairy-door-78-86]

@@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow Thank you I am starting week 4 following your recipes after the doctor wanted to put me on statins which I refused. He said changing your diet won't do anything !! Also do you have any people who have reported improvement for macular degeneration ? I have the warning stage before it develops . I live in France and some ingredients are hard to find like soy curls which would cost me 72 euros for a bag if I buy online ! I'll have to skip that one :) I so appreciate your cooking show.

[@valerieescabi6104]

Hi jill❤❤

[@starr8111]

What can I substitute for oat flour

[@johnna-l7t]

you can try buckwheat

[@DougOverman]

Would the cashews for the frosting work without soaking for 3 hours?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Yes

[@msklein25]

What would be some substitutes for the cashews in the frosting? No nut allergy concerns.

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Almonds

[@laurawrld2097]

Hemp hearts

[@pansrn]

You have a typo in the flour chapter name. Looking forward to making this. Yum!

[@Biff.In.Stirling]

Great earrings!

[@roverdover4449]

Ooop, got pineapple on my shopping list now.

[@ednapuckett1042]

Do you presoak the dates?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

I don’t

[@tonya0601]

Hi! What could I do to replace nuts in the frosting?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Raw unsalted hulled sunflower seeds would work 👍

[@tonya0601]

@@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow Thank you 😊

[@kittybeck151]

Note: You have to double the frosting recipe for a Vitamix blender, or else it will not blend. It made two 1-cup Mason jars. I used one, then put the other one in the freezer. : )

[@moniquewatson8985]

Tfs! Any particular reason you used pineapples? Never had it with that. Only raisins. Why not raisins?

[@loristephens7506]

Are there 234 calories in *each* bar, or is that the calories in 9 bars?

[@xnoname223]

Is it possible for me to microwave it instead? My shared kitchen oven didn’t work for some reason😅so please let me know. Thanks so much!

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

No

[@kittybeck151]

Hi Jill ~ love your recipes, but you use a LOT of dates & they are quite expensive (I like Medjool). Do you buy in bulk & can you refer me to where I can get a good deal? TY

[@bhavnapatel8258]

😋🙏🙏

[@kathleenbrown1395]

😢 I am allergic to pineapple.

[@johnna-l7t]

you can leave them out or use small cut apples instead

[@kosoconnor3959]

What can you replace the pineapple with? I hate pineapple

[@Funfettiwitch]

how can i use up tapioca flour?

[@shirleywest9402]

What can I substitute for dates? I have IBS and can't eat dates.

[@johnna-l7t]

it may help if you soak them first

[@jennyleejohnson3891]

Any. Substitute for dates?
