Main Ingredients

  • 1 box Carrot cake mix One standard box
  • 2-3 pieces Eggs Depending on the mix and box directions for bars
  • 1/2 cup Oil Use a neutral oil like vegetable or avocado oil

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the carrot cake mix box.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the carrot cake mix, eggs, oil, and shredded carrots.
  • Stir the mixture gently until the dry mix disappears; do not overmix.
  • Line your baking pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for the time specified on the cake mix box, usually about 25 minutes.
  • Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool before slicing into bars.

Notes

These bars can be enjoyed plain or dusted with powdered sugar. For a special touch, consider adding cream cheese frosting if serving to guests. They also freeze well for later enjoyment.
