For the past few years, one of our Christmas and Thanksgiving favorites has been this carrot bar recipe I remember my mom making when I was a kid. I usually only pull it out for holidays because… holy oil… and not the good kind! Ha! That said, they are super dense, and super tasty, and I think it’s okay to splurge every now and then ;). Plus it’s a very easy recipe, which is good for me and my baking ineptitude. The recipe is listed below. Enjoy friends!
