How to Make HEALTHY Carrot Cake | Doctor Explains Low Calorie Ingredients

Join me as I bake a healthier low calorie version of the classic Carrot Cake. A popular choice by many in the belief the carrots make it a healthier option, it is often laden with sugar, oil and butter.

In this episode, I share with you healthier alternatives to common ingredients to create this masterpiece whilst maintaining a genuine taste.

RECIPE AND METHOD

For the mixture:

- 3 Eggs

- 3 Grated Carrots

- 1 Tsp Fresh ginger

- 5 Dates cut in quarters

- 220g Pineapple mashed, without the juice

- 20g Walnuts

- 50ml Sugar-Free Maple syrup

- 1 Cup Flour

- 1 Tsp Bicarbonate of soda

- 2 Tsp Baking powder

- 2 Tsp Cinnamon powder

Mix the dry ingredients together and set aside. In a separate bowl mix the carrots, eggs, ginger, walnuts, dates, pineapple and maple syrup together. Once you have achieved an even texture add in the dry ingredients. Be sure not to over beat the mixture as the cake will loose its height.

Transfer the mixture into a baking tin and place in an already heated oven at 180 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until a knife can come out clean from the cake.

Set aside to rest and enjoy with a lovely cup of tea.

Please remember to always eat treats sensibly as part of a full healthy balanced diet and an active lifestyle.
