Healthy Carrot Cake Recipe

With this healthy carrot cake recipe, now you can keep up your clean eating lifestyle and still eat your cake, too!

Alright, peeps.  We’ve hit carrot cake gold up in here.

Clean. Healthy. Carrot. Cake. Gold.

Yep, and it’s amaaaaazing.

Now, to be honest, I’m not a huge cake person.

Sure, I’ll enjoy a cheesecake now and again, a birthday cake…maybe.

But I don’t tend to eat much cake.

Instead, I prefer sweet breads, pudding, these chocolate peanut butter cups, and little coconut bites for my sweets.

Out of all the cakes, though, carrot cake is my fave.

There’s something about the earthy, naturally sweet flavors of the carrots mixed with the warm cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves that I find really delicious and almost comforting.  It’s like a combo of Winter flavors with Spring produce.

And, now that I think about it, it reminds me of being a kid again.

Alas, being a kid and eating cake is A LOT different than being an adult and eating cake.

Cue the collective [adult] sigh.

As a kid, you don’t really care about calories or sugar or even gaining weight.  You don’t look at cake as something evil or harmful.

As a kid, cake is cake, ya know?

As an adult, however, there’s a lot more baggage when we have cake.  There’s the guilt, pleasure, flavors, textures, weight loss goals, macros, and all the in-between.

Yep, I think “baggage” pretty much sums this up nicely.

That’s why I love love LOVE this healthy carrot cake recipe.

Now, you can enjoy the cake as if you were a kid, maintain your healthy lifestyle, and not feel guilty that you’re not making a good choice.

This carrot cake recipe includes no refined sugars, no refined flours, no processed ingredients.  Just pure and whole goodness in carrot cake form.

This, my friends, is one good choice.

Is Carrot Cake Healthy?

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is carrot cake healthy?” and “Are carrots really in carrot cake?” the answer to both is a resounding yes! (if you follow this recipe, that is).

This easy, healthy carrot cake recipe contains no refined sugars, no refined flours, and no processed ingredients.  Now you can enjoy pure and whole goodness in carrot cake form. Plus, it’s a sneaky way for you to eat your veggies!

This, my friends, is one good choice.
