My notes
Tips
- Short on time? Use the carrots raw and very finely grated instead of cooked. The bowl is a little less smooth, a bit more like the cake itself.
- Medjool dates are soft and blend easily. Smaller, firmer dried dates work too: use 5 or 6 and soak them in hot water for 10 minutes first.
- For a nut-free bowl, top with pumpkin seeds instead of walnuts. If it must be gluten-free, use oats labeled gluten-free.
Why it works
Soft-cooked carrots, banana and dates bring fiber and natural sugar, so the frozen block spins thick and spoonable, and soaked oats make it creamy. Cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and vanilla bring the carrot cake flavor.
