My experience with coconut flour is that it isn’t suitable as a 1:1 replacement for wheat flour in recipes. Also containing a much higher amount of protein. Coconut flourĬoconut flour is another gluten free flour alternative. Oats are naturally gluten free – although if you are celiac you may want to check the label as a lot of oats are processed in facilities that also process wheat, resulting in in rolled oats containing trace amounts of wheat.
#My vegan carrot cake protein full#
Oats are full of fibre and are higher in protein than most grains. Using oat flour in place of refined wheat flour is more nutritious. Oat flour can be made easily using rolled oats and a food processor. We need 3/4 cup of pureed carrot in this recipe. Then I used a stick blender (easier with smaller quantities of food) to puree. I like to use the microwave steamer, I just find it quicker. Wash, peel and steam or boil 4/5 carrots. The pureed carrot gives great flavour while also making it easier to eat! Usually in carrot cake I would use grated carrot, but as this recipe is no bake I feel grated carrot just wouldn’t fare as well. The flavour it gives makes me feel the sacrifice is worth it.Ĭarrot Puree works best in this recipe. I even decided to top them with a cream cheese frosting which really gives that true carrot cake flavour, despite store bought vegan cream cheese not being a health food. These carrot cake protein bars have all the flavours of traditional carrot cake, combined with more whole food ingredients and even some vanilla protein powder to create a high protein, great tasting carrot cake protein bars.
