salted caramel protein carrot cake bars
carrot cake is not usually my dessert of choice… HOWEVER, these bars might’ve converted me. 🥕✨
equip food's salted caramel protein powder + rich brown butter (with a subtle hint of miso 👀) take these to a whole new level. soft, perfectly spiced, & layered with all the cozy flavors you want — just done better.
gluten-free, sugar-free, packed with protein, & boosted with further food's superfood turmeric for that functional twist. finished with a creamy, tangy protein frosting that seals the deal.
safe to say… I get the carrot cake hype now. 😌✨
