No one would know it was made with wholesome and good for you ingredients. This is an easy carrot cake made with simple ingredients that you can whip up quickly.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s moist, perfectly sweet, fluffy, flavorful, and filled with warm spices. The texture is perfect and I absolutely love the walnuts in this carrot cake. It adds a nice crunch and nuttiness that pairs well with the flavors in this cake.<\/p>\n<p>This healthy carrot cake is made with oat and almond flours. You can seriously eat it for breakfast, as a snack, or for dessert. It&#8217;s wholesome, yet so delicious. It is also refined sugar free too and actually does not have a lot of added sugars. I don&#8217;t love super sweet cakes and I think this carrot cake has just the right amount of sweetness. It tastes even better the next day as the flavors have more time to meld and develop, making the cake more moist and sweet.<\/p>\n<p>I used Spero Food&#8217;s original sunflower cream cheese as my &#8220;frosting&#8221;. I am not a huge fan of frosting, but I added some cinnamon and pure maple syrup to the cream cheese and it was delish! It isn&#8217;t super sweet and is made with great ingredients too. However, feel free to use your favorite vegan cream cheese frosting for this cake or eat it plain! I actually would prefer to just eat it plain, but that&#8217;s just me!<\/p>\n<p>If you make this, tag me @nutsaboutgreens on Instagram so I can see your creations!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
