🥕 Macro Friendly Carrot Cake Bars w/ Protein Cream Cheese Icing (gf)🥕
Sometimes you want to indulge in all the sugary decadence of a bomb ass dessert... but more often than not we want something sweet & yummy that isn’t “all that bad for you”. Remaking classic sweets in ways that “aren’t all that bad for you” is always so fun for me. I love testing lower sugar, oil free, or higher protein options that are more easily worked into my meal planning that don’t even need to be considered “treats” or “cheats”. “Cheat meals” aren’t in my vocabulary. We are adults... what exactly are we supposed to be cheating on? Everything is a choice and I’ll happily choose this crazy good carrot cake remake any day of the week. The primary swaps are monkfruit for white sugar, egg whites for eggs, applesauce for some oil and protein powder for some of the flour. In the frosting I’ve completely avoided powdered sugar and swapped in protein powder instead, and I swear you’d never know the difference.
