This Healthy Carrot Cake Spread is the perfect spread on pancakes, waffles, toast, yogurt, ice cream or whatever your heart desires!
I was super happy and excited about the Recipe Redux theme this year:
“It’s the end of the year and we’re taking a moment to reflect – The Recipe ReDux has been around for 54 months! To celebrate, we’re playing a little party game this month: Grab your nearest cookbook and ReDux the recipe on page 54 or 154.” We can’t wait to see the books you’re cooking from these days.”
Not only did I turn to a great recipe on pg. 54 of one of my mom’s old cookbooks, but I decided to improvise and make carrot cake i a different delicious form!
Have you ever just been obsessed with a cake flavor that you wanted to make everything you eat that flavor? Well if you have, you can understand about my love for carrot cake.
Insert this carrot cake spread. YES spread. Now you can slather your carrot cake on toast, biscuits, ice cream, waffles, you name it, it will taste like carrot cake in a spreadable form!
If you need another reason to make this carrot cake butter, besides being easy to make and extremely tasty, it is paleo, gluten-free, vegan and refined sugar free.
Now you can have your cake and eat it too.

This sounds wonderful! I love the combination of pear, carrot, and pineapple. I’m getting inspired to make this…and perhaps “redux” it myself. 🙂
The fact that you just made carrot cake in a spoonable form..you’re my hero. Haha looks AMAZING.

YES LADIES!!! This is so wonderful! I LOVE fruit butters and I would have never have thought to make a carrot cake variety! The addition of pineapple is PERFECT!! A key carrot cake ingredient if you ask me. 😉

Yum! I have a feeling this would be great on toast!
Woah, yum! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like this! So creative and it sounds absolutely mouth watering. I’ve never been a big jelly/jam fan, but I love the textures of other fruit butter I’ve tried and I know I would be all over this!
