Oh my gosh! These look delish!
This looks really healthy and tasty! Yummmmmm
I will try to bake a cake from (Soya) protein tomorrow for my first time, I will post my result on fb later 😛 thnx for inspiration.
Love this! Going to use this recipe for the upcoming holidays this fall/winter 🙂
Has anyone made these? They look dry so I’m hesitant to try them. Some candid opinions would be greatly appreciated!
These sound so yummy, and I’m thinking they’ll be perfect when the weather cools off a little. (I’m thinking I may try them for breakfast. 🙂 )
Sounds yummy! I pinned it on Pinterest. My 4 year old daughter has a new found love for carrot cake, so this recipe will be a healthy steer in the right direction!!
Carrot cake is my absolute favorite treat; I still have yet to find a good Gluten Free recipe… I may have to give this one a try!:)
