Ingredients
2/3 cup melted butter
1 1/3 cups light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/3 cups shredded carrots
3/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts
6 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
  1. Preheat to 350°F. Line 9x9-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang around the edges; spray with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, add the melted butter and brown sugar and stir to combine. Stir in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Add in the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt and stir until completely combined. Fold in the shredded carrots and 1/2 cup walnuts. Set aside.
