Here is a quick and easy little recipe for Carrot Zucchini Bars with a vegan Citrus Cream Cheese Frosting. There are several companies producing really good vegan cream cheese right now and you can find them in any Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s or similar health food markets.

You could also add raisins and/or chopped walnuts to this batter if you’d like.

This recipe is for one 8″ cake. It bakes to only about 1/2″ thick, so they are perfect for stacking! We got 8 of them out of this recipe. You could always double it and use a 13″ x 9″ pan if you’d like more or you could also just use one single square and frost it for a reduced calorie bite-sized version.

For the cream cheese frosting, we softened some vegan cream cheese and added vegan powdered (confectioner’s) sugar and some lemon zest. You can sweeten this to your liking. The cake itself is not overly sweet. It will however be sweeter if you opt to use applesauce instead of the flax “egg”.
