Ingredients
  

For the carrot cake bars:

  • 1 ½ cups fine ground almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 3 eggs room temperature

For the cream cheese frosting:

  • 8 oz. cream cheese room temperature
  • ½ cup powdered sweetener

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8"X8" baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk almond flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, mix eggs, oil, and maple-flavored syrup.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  • Stir in carrots and chopped pecans.
  • Spoon batter into your prepared 8X8 pan.
  • Bake for 25-27 minutes or until the center is set.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.
  • Enjoy plain or frost with keto cream cheese frosting. For the frosting: mix the cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl until it is smooth. Add in the powdered sweetener and vanilla, and mix until well incorporated.
  • Store carrot cake bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • To measure the almond flour, spoon it into your measuring cup and level with the handle of your spoon.
  • You can use your sugar-free sweetener of choice in this low carb carrot cake bars recipe.
  • You can use your oil of choice or melted butter in this recipe.
  • While the carrots do add to the carb count, they're high in fiber, so the net carb count is lower.
