Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just incorporated.
Fold in the grated carrots, shredded coconut, raisins, chopped walnuts, and lemon zest. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice into bars and serve. Enjoy your paleo carrot cake slices as a tasty and wholesome treat!
