So, we all know that “healthy” and “cake” don’t really belong together. \u00a0But when you use applesauce and grated carrot to make a snack cake, I think the word “healthier” can definitely apply.<\/p>\n

I made this carrot applesauce snack cake recipe when I had my niece and nephew visiting. They are two of the pickiest eaters on the face of this good earth! After several days of not a single vegetable passing their lips, I baked this cake. I don’t really know how many nutrients they get out of the carrots, but I certainly felt better knowing that a vegetable had been consumed.<\/p>\n

The resulting cake is deliciously moist from the applesauce. Using cinnamon and cloves as the spices definitely marries the apple and carrot flavors together.<\/p>\n

Make this as an after-school snack. Then tuck the leftovers into lunch the next day. Snack cakes are perfect for lunchboxes!<\/p>\n
