Description
Delicious and moist carrot cake blondies topped with cream cheese frosting and walnuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup salted butter (melted)
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup finely shredded carrots
- 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup crushed walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and coat an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- Combine your melted butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer to whisk the ingredients together.
- Add the eggs and whisk again until just combined. Gently whisk in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Make sure no dry pockets remain in your batter.
- Gently fold in the carrots and then transfer your batter to the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes, or until you can cleanly remove a toothpick from the center of the pan.
- Let your blondies cool for 30 minutes while you prepare your frosting. Whisk the cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a mixing bowl. Spread the frosting over the blondies and then top with the walnuts.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add additional spices like nutmeg or vanilla extract.
- These blondies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
