You can put frosting on them, but we don't because I'm not allowed to have that much sugar. We eat them all by themselves for breakfast.
{Carrot 'n' Yogurt Squares}
1 cup oil {or applesauce}
1 cup plain yogurt {we used soy!}
2 eggs {or egg substitute}
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup grated carrot
1 cup chopped nuts
1/4 cup honey
1 cup raisins {optional}
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease a 13 x 9 inch pan. When mama does this, she either sprays it with oil, or she brushes oil or butter on the pan. After you make the pan greasy, set it aside to use later.
Now get a big bowl. Combine honey, oil, yogurt and eggs in it, and beat them well. Then put flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in the liquid. Stir it well.
If you haven't already, you need to grate your carrots and chop your nuts. Mama uses almonds that have been through the blender when she makes these. We also grate our own carrots because it costs less money and has fewer preservatives {whatever that means!}
Then stir them {and the optional raisins!} in. Mix well again.
Now you get to finally use the pan from the beginning step. Pour your batter into the pan, and put it in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes.
Then you're done! If you want to add frosting, let it cool first.
