These super fudgy Carrot Cake Blondies with Chocolate Chips are the perfect treat for Sunday afternoons or Easter. So easy to make and delicious!
This is the ultimate can’t-decide-whether-to-have-carrot-cake-or-blondies or I-want-blondies-but-I-don’t-want-to-miss-out-on-chocolate cake. This dessert is super fudgy on the inside, sweetened mainly by grated carrots and chocolate chips.
As with most of the cakes here on the blog, making the cake couldn’t be any easier. Just mix the dry ingredients, then add in the wet ingredients, give it a good mix, fill it in a baking dish and bake till perfection.
And if you’re celebrating Easter, this is the cake you want to serve. Because Easter and Carrot Cake belong together like Chocolate and Peanut Butter (consider this a tiny spoiler!). I’ve included more Easter recipes below the recipe!

Could I sub this with a gluten free flour such as almond or oat?

Can this be made in a muffin tins or in mini loaf tins that aren't silicone?

yep, just make sure you oil it lightly, so it doesn't stick to the tins! :)

Chocolate + Carrot cake, oh my goodness. If there was a was for me to crawl into the computer screen and grab a piece of this, you would have a crazy person currently standing in your kitchen munching down on one of these bars. I will be making these for Easter, no doubt about it! Pinning!
