Carrot Cake Blondies

Carrot cake darlings – these are for you! All the enormity of a carrot cake in a simple to-prepare up group of blondies. With cream cheddar icing, obviously. These Carrot Cake Blondies are certainly an attendant!

I'm almost certain even carrot cake darlings would fall for these sweet minimal blonde and orange squares. They're delicate yet chewy, and stuffed with the enchanting characteristics of both carrot cake and a conventional blondie. They're so prepared to be cherished. What's more, ate up.

The extremely extraordinary thing about these carrot cake blondies is – other than the entire tasting stunning part – they are sooooo a lot simpler than preparing an entire cake. They spare you on both time, and cash. What's more, I don't think about you – yet those two things are dependably on my "keep close" list.

Is it true that you are folks up to anything fun this end of the week? We're hosting a supper get-together today around evening time, and I have a huge amount of cooking/CLEANING to get to. In any case, it ought to be an extraordinary time. I trust you appreciate these late-winter days.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces unsalted butter, melted
• 1 and 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
• 1 cup carrots, finely grated
• 1 and 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 4 ounces unsalted butter, VERY soft
• 8 ounces cream cheese, VERY soft
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups confectioners sugar
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line a 9x9" inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick baking spray; set aside.
2. In a large bowl combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla; whisk smooth. Beat in the egg and egg yolk, then fold in the carrots. Add in the flour, ginger, cinnamon, and salt and whisk just until combined. Fold in chopped pecans.
3. Pour batter into prepared pan, smooth the top. Place pan in the oven and bake for 32 to 35 minutes. The edges will be brown and the center should be set. Cool completely (!!!) in pan before removing and frosting. You don't want to rush the cooling!

Make your Frosting:

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese and butter and beat on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add in the vanilla and beat smooth. Gradually add in the confectioners sugar, a 1/2 cup at a time, and whisk until smooth.
2. Frost cooled bars by simply scooping the frosting onto the blondies and smoothing it evenly across the top. Sprinkle with pecans. Cut into small squares and serve!
3. P.S. You can add toasted coconut or chopped nuts to the top. If I had crystalized ginger I would have added that!
