Carrot Bars - Mom
Bars
1 C sugar (you can use a little less)
1/4 C oil
1/4 C applesauce
2 jars (small) baby food carrots
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/4 C flour (can use half whole wheat)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
Frosting
1/4 C butter
1 1/2 C powdered sugar
3 oz. light cream cheese
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix all bar ingredients together in a large bowl. Stir well until well-mixed. Then, pour batter into a lightly greased 9x13 pan.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool.
While bars cool, cream together butter and cream cheese using an electric mixer. Beat in powdered sugar and vanilla until you have a light frosting.
When bars are cool, frost with frosting, slice and serve!
