OK so if you are HUGE carrot cake fan this will not completely satisfy you but it was seriously yummy and shoot 5 minutes from mixing to eating you just can't beat. Carrot Cake was always one of those cakes I felt better about eating pre-op I mean it's carrots, a vegetable, it couldn't be that bad right?! Check out the stats on one of my favorite pre-op carrot cakes. Scary!?
Anyway here's my effort. A slice of this made a yummy breakfast this morning.
Shelly's 5 Minute Sugar-Free Carrot Cake w/ Cream Cheese Frosting1 Egg, beaten
3 Tablespoons Milk (I used Vanilla Soy)
2 Tablespoons Sugar-Free Torani Syrup (I used SF Vanilla)
2 Tablespoons No Sugar Added Strained Carrots Baby Food
2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
3 Tablespoons Multigrain Pancake Mix (I use this)
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Pecans, chopped
1 Tablespoon Raisins
1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
Pinch salt
1 Measuring Cup or Microwave Safe Mug
In a measuring cup or microwave safe mug, Mix egg, milk, syrup, carrot, and oil and combine thoroughly. In a separate bowl, mix pancake mix, cinnamon, nuts, raisins, protein powder, and salt. Tip dry into wet and stir till combined. Nuke in microwave for 2 minutes. Let it sit for three or so minutes (it pulls away from the sides) before tipping the cake onto a plate. Yields 4-5 slices. Top with Cream Cheese Frosting or Carrot Cake Protein Ice Cream.

Highlights of the day:
* Got the most beautiful email from a blog reader this morning. It made my day. I am so grateful that you all stick around to listen to my ramblings and keep me on track. My journey would not be the same without you guys. Thank you!
* Speaking of email... if you have any pictures of the LA OH Event. I'd love to get a copy theworldaccordingtoeggface@gmail.com
* Went out for a walk a little bit ago and met the new people that moved into the house next door. They seem nice. Of course, that is what neighbors always say on the News when they discover dead bodies in a freezer in their garage.
"They seemed sooooo nice." LOL.
