Healthy Carrot Cake

Last week I was craving a good and crunchy carrot cake (I love when they have nuts). At the same time I had a few ingredients in my fridge that I had to use before they expire. So I improvised and created this healthy carrot cake recipe with cinnamon and walnuts.

This delicious cake will not only bring you joy with the flavor but it will also improve your health!  It’s ingredients are rich in antioxidants, fiber, Omega-3s and beta carotene. All in which are important to maintain good health. So it’s ok, you can now “have your cake and eat it too”.
