1 box Duncan Hines® Decadent Carrot Cake
1 cup Hot tap water (for hydrating carrots and raisins)
1 egg
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
2/3 cup butter
2 cups quick cooking oatmeal
1/2 cup coconut (optional)
1/2 cup nuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add carrots and raisins to hot tap water. Allow to hydrate for a minimum of 5 minutes. Drain and squeeze out excess water.
  • In small sauce pan, melt brown sugar, corn syrup and butter on medium. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

  • Bake for 30-35 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and immediately press down on surface of hot cooked bars with spatula.
  • Cool and refrigerate before cutting.

Tips:

  • Use fresh carrots. Fresh carrots will give your bars the best flavor and texture. If you're using pre-packaged carrots, make sure they're still crisp and not wilted.
  • Grate your carrots finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the bars and prevent them from becoming too chunky.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough and chewy. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until they're golden brown. This will ensure that they're cooked through and have a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Carrot cake oatmeal bars are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or breakfast treat. They're perfect for on-the-go mornings or afternoon pick-me-ups. With their chewy texture, sweet flavor, and carrot-infused goodness, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
