- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2-3 Tbsp ground flaxseed
- optional: raisins or shredded coconut
Instructions

- Stir in optional mix-ins if desired.

Notes
You can sub steamed carrots but add 1-2 Tbsp more maple syrup.
I don’t use mix-ins. I just imagine they’d taste good because they pair well with carrot cake.
If you want to add frosting, you can use whatever kind you want. I just mixed together cream cheese (softened) and powdered sugar until it reached the right sweetness and spread it on top of a couple.
You can also make these as muffins.
