      STEPS

  1. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and stir. Add yogurt, extracts, milk, and carrots. Stir well.

  2. Place into a greased 9x13 dish and top with desired raisins or nuts.

  3. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes.

  4. Cut into 6 servings for an easy prepped meal to satisfy your sweet tooth and support metabolism and blood sugar for 4 hours or so.

    1. Mix in a small bowl with whisk. Drizzle after baking. Honestly, it’s yummy sans the icing too if that’s too extra. Sometimes I microwave my slice to have in a bowl with some nut butter and milk poured over or I love it cold topped with some vanilla yogurt or even cottage cheese because I like to do more like 30g protein at my meals. You can also grab a slice on the go and eat it like a bar.
