Creamy, spiced, and freezer-friendly, these high protein carrot cake freezer bars are an easy no-bake snack with oats, carrots, vanilla protein powder, and a tangy Greek yogurt cream cheese topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 1/2 cups finely grated carrots
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 4 ounces light cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup for topping
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon for topping

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper and make space in the freezer.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, finely grated carrots, chopped walnuts, shredded coconut, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Add the 1/3 cup maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until the mixture is evenly combined and holds together when pressed.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the lined pan and press it very firmly into an even layer.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the plain Greek yogurt, softened light cream cheese, 1 tablespoon maple syrup for topping, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon for topping until smooth.
  6. Spread the topping evenly over the base.
  7. Freeze for 2 hours, or until firm enough to slice cleanly.
  8. Lift from the pan, slice into 8 bars, and let the bars sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use finely grated carrots for the best texture.
  • If the base feels too dry, add 1 extra tablespoon of milk.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Place parchment between layers to prevent sticking.
