These bars were a bit too dry for my taste, but I think I might have underbaked them. I'll try again next time and bake them for a few minutes longer.

I had some trouble getting the bars to set properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These bars are the perfect combination of sweet and chewy. The carrots add a nice texture and the spices give them a warm, comforting flavor.
