GUILTLESS Carrot Cake ALERT!  This is pretty incredible as it is very fudgy, used with only natural ingredients to make it vegan, gluten free, dairy free, and straight up one of the best carrot cake's I've ever tasted! 

I made these super last minute for my baby's daycare Spring party and knowing that every kid in school these days is nut free, dairy free and all the other free's I thought I would error on the side of caution.  Well, it turns out not only where these amazing and healthy, but they literally took 15 minutes to make!  Super easy!  I made them into bites which worked out perfect for finger foods at the party!  I put them in tupperware and left them out for everyone to enjoy and it was a huge hit!

On top of them tasting pretty epic they are so clean I absolutely felt not guilt or shame eating these!  In fact, they are a great grab and go breakfast that can also really help to satisfy cravings!  I hope you enjoy!  Here's the recipe below!
