Mix until you get a paste, then add sultanas. The result is a sweet cake, with rich flavours like the dates & sultanas, orange as well as of course carrots
Seems there’s no end to the wonderful treats you can make with healthy raw foods. Oh, and feel free to play around — dates, dried pineapple, or dried apricots, etc
I was looking for a snack to take with us on our weekend trip to St. I know I have been saying this a lot lately, but honestly, these Quinoa 'CarrotCake' Bites are sooooooo good
Blend all the wet ingredients with the flax seed to form a smooth fairly runny paste. This cake is a wicked cross between my all-time favourite courgette brownie cake and a carrotcake… I swapped the courgette for carrot and changed up the spices a little
Then transfer them to a small bowl and pulse the dates in the processor with a splash or two of their soaking liquid until they come into a chunky paste
They’re actually a nut-free revamp of a previous raw carrotcake recipe — swapping out the nuts with the help of one of my favorite nut substitutes — thick toasted coconut chips — as well as my favorite super simple cream layer from these coconut cream bars

As excited as I am about having made my own syrup, I’m equally, if not more thrilled, that the world is stuffed with glorious ingredients just waiting to be tampered with that just happen to be healthy – dates, for example, are so magically inspiring because you can do pretty much anything with them – make syrup, paste, brownies, cakes, etc
This got me thinking, what if I replaced the raisins withdates. Last weekend my mom made a carrotcake for my sister-in-law’s birthday, and it was a huge hit with the whole family
I have only tested this recipe with Medjool dates, so I can’t guarantee how other options will work. Fresh, whole food ingredients make this carrotcake delicious, as well as loaded with nutrients
