  1. I was told you cannot heat whey protein or it breaks down and becomes useless. Can you confirm? All research I have done points to this as being factual.

  2. I love you so much Miss Heidi! I am making these tonight 🙂 Thank goodness for babies, I have tons of baby carrot food 🙂

  3. I will for sure try these out, extra protein in a carrot cake bar…awesome!! Thanks and keep the ideas coming!!

  4. Hey Heidi — super excited to try this recipe but wanted to make sure and fit it into the right place — would this count as a protein at a meal?

  5. I love this recipe! Thank you, Heidi!!! I also organic raisins in there, substituted baking powder for baking soda (didn’t have soda), used almond flour instead of oat flour (didn’t have oat), used truvia instead of straight stevia (only had packets of stevia, had pourable truvia – easier), and used Shaklee (soy) protein instead of whey protein. I pur?ed baby carrots in the blender, and voila! It was awesome; hubby loved it too. Since he’s a die hard carrot cake fan, we are trying to figure out a yummy, healthy topping for this that somehow mimics cream cheese :). Any ideas? Thank you again!!

  6. Hi Heidi! This looks so good. . . have you tried it with fresh carrots? I was wondering if freshly grated carrots throw of the consistency or if I should cook & puree them first? Thank you for a GREAT website!!

  7. This cake was awesome and my husband loved it. I made a change and used fresh pureed carrots. Got to say if I make it again, I think I will opt for raw sugar for an additional 15 calories a bar than the after taste of the stevia. Other than that, awesome recipe. Made it for all my husbands client for a snack after training. Thanks for the recipe.

  8. Hello.
    This looks like a great recipe. I would love to try it. I recently bought Chris’ new book, and have started carb cycling. Can I have these on a high carb day as a snack? If so, what would you pair it with, or just have the bar itself? Or is this best left for a reward day?

    Thanks so much!!

    1. It’s best for a reward day but you could have them on high carb day as your morning snack. Enjoy!
