I have made a similar recipe like this tasty one & it was great!
Yours is oozing deliciousness! MMMM!
This looks wonderful! Can the recipe be made ahead and reheated the next day?
Yes, I definitely think that should be fine!
I was going to try these this evening but the recipe is missing!? 🙁 I love your recipes and would love to see this one!
Sorry Danielle, I switched to a new recipe card plugin and a few got lost in the transition! It’s back up there now! Let me know after you make them 🙂
Thank you so much for getting back to me and restoring the recipe. I did make them that night, and basically did what you wrote, even though I couldn’t see the recipe! I baked them a little longer as when I checked them at about 25 minutes they were pretty juicy, so I baked them for about 35 minutes. I think I had my oven a little lower, at about 350F. My hubby and I both liked them a lot! I think I might try it again, subbing applesauce for the maple syrup and whiz the sauce ingredients in the blender for a few seconds to make the applesauce smooth. I loved the cinnamon taste.
On another, completely unrelated note, I would LOOOVVVVEEE to get the 2-layer variation of your beautiful wedding cake if at all possible. Ever since we went WFPB I’ve been on the hunt for a good birthday/anniversary/holiday vanilla cake, and I’m sure yours does taste great since it’s from you. I appreciate all your recipes.
Oh, p.s., I will be making these for Thanksgiving… Thanksgiving plans can never be made too early. 🙂
Hi Danielle! I’m so glad you and your hubby liked the carrots! Can you please email me at thevegan8@yahoo.com and I will email you over the cake recipe!
These carrots are so yummy! Thank you!
