Do you have two bowls, ten minutes to prep, and thirty minutes to bake? If so, I recommend these Grain-Free Carrot Cake Bars as your go-to recipe. These bars are tender, and they taste like carrot cake without the extra ingredients or sugar.
We’ve been enjoying these Grain-Free Carrot Cake Bars for years. They are super filling, healthy, and they taste like carrot cake. I’ve even been knows to top these bars with a little frosting and serve them as actual cake. But don’t tell my kids that.
Carrot cake is one of my father’s favorite desserts. It’s also a favorite of mine. My mom wasn’t really into baking and my family ate out a lot so whenever we wanted a carrot cake my mom would pick up a whole one from the store.
I remember the carrot cakes we used to get were really dense, had tons of nuts and raisins in them and were smothered in a cream cheese frosting. Delicious.
I still love a good old-fashioned gluten-free carrot cake every once in a while, but these bars are so easy to make, that I don’t want to spend time in the kitchen whipping up a whole carrot cake when I can have these in less than 3o minutes and I can eat as much as I want with no guilt.
Now that I have a family of my own and we eat at home most nights, if I want a carrot cake, I need to make it myself. No problem.
This grain-free carrot cake bar recipe is really quite simple and uses only ten ingredients. It’s not a full cake, but it has all the same great qualities of the cake version, and remember it’s healthy.
No grains, refined-sugar, and it’s loaded with healthy fats and protien. Something I am trying to incorporate more into my family’s eating.
Every carrot cake has the potential to be healthy and nutritious so why not make it that way? These carrot cake bars are grain free, moist, flavorful, and satisfying. I haven’t tried adding in pineapple, but my Grain-Free Hummingbird is a similar recipe, developed from my Grain-Free Banana Everything Bars, and used pineapple to sweeten it.
You can serve these Grain-Free Carrot Cake Bars plain for a healthy breakfast or frost them with fresh whipped cream or coconut cream for a wonderful dessert. If you like this recipe you’ll love my Paleo Carrot Cake Muffins.

My husband just asked for a carrot cake for his birthday- but I’ll have to make these for him to have as a treat! I love the video too by the way!
Kristina says
Mmm, I love carrot cake too. I like the idea of a bar like this, although I’d also like to add the cream cheese frosting… ha!
Kelly says
My dad (and I!) would love these. Love carrot cake and hooray for healthy!

Carrot cake bars are a great idea. We love carrot cake, but these are much more convenient to just grab and go!
K.C. says
Carrot cake is one of my guilty pleasures. The look incredible!
Sarah says
Carrot cake is a favorite of mine and my moms. I might have to whip some up soon, if I had seen this sooner I would have gotten up extra early to make them this morning to thank her for helping out tonight.
Alisa Fleming says
These bars looks so wonderful Chrystal. Carrot cake is actually the only cake I truly like, and it’s a favorite that I share with my grandmother.
Kaila (The Wanderlust Celiac) says
I’ve never made a carrot cake, nor carrot cake bars, but these make me want to try. They sound simply scrumptious.
Amanda says
I really want to put these in the vegetable group. Then I could get away with eating these with lunch and supper. I think kids would agree. 🙂 Excellent recipe!
SaraJ says
These look yummy, but am I missing the nutrition facts for these? What is the carb/fat count?
chrystal says
Hi Sara,
I don’t currently add nutritional facts because it can vary depending on the exact ingredients used. You can pop the ingredients into a nutritional calculator.
Best,

I grew up with the same type of carrot cake, but now I enjoy the simpler, healthier version as well.
Laura says
Oh my goodness!! I’ve just whipped this up this afternoon, in the hope my little man might eat it full of carrots. WOW! Delicious! I’m so thrilled to have found another healthy version of a classic cake.
Thanks so much!

Lanae says
Really turned out well! Going to make again! And the eggs in there make it nice and fluffy rather than dense! I honestly love dense things but this reminded me of a more cakey texture! Loved the simplicity of it!
