Hey Friends!!
So I figured this would be a good time to sneak in this recipe with Easter approaching!
I’m honestly not a fan of Carrot Cake or Cream Cheese, so I’m honestly not sure why I put the effort into making this, but I’m SOOOO happy I did!
Pregnancy has me wanting Baked Goods, and I found a few recipes that I combined to make this a relatively healthier option! Still not something you want to have everyday, but at least if you indulge, it has clean ingredients for a more guilt-free experience 😉
