Here's a guide to baking with carrots and a roundup of baking recipes to make with carrots.
Carrots are readily available year round, which makes them very handy for baking, unlike an ingredient like rhubarb, which has a very short season.
If you are baking with carrots, I recommend selecting bigger carrots because you are most likely going to grate them to incorporate into cake batters and muffins, or even cakes and cookies.
I carefully selected the best carrot recipes for you to bake, besides the obvious use of carrots in carrot cake. With each photo, I've included a caption that has the title of each recipe and the name of the blog. The image and caption are hyperlinked to the corresponding blog where you can find the recipe. I encourage you to spend a little time visiting each and every one. Show them some love! Do you bake anything special or unusual with carrots?

By the way, a few of these bloggers have published cookbooks:
- Jeanine of Love and Lemons has a book coming out soon called "The Love and Lemons Cookbook: An Apple-to-Zucchini Celebration of Impromptu Cooking", which will be released in 1 week (Amazon). I can't wait!
- Izy Hossack of Top With Cinnamon published her book in 2014 called "Top With Cinnamon: Stylish Sweet and Savoury Recipes" (Amazon), which I already have on my bookshelf and so should you.
Now go forth and bake something yummy with carrots!
Happy Spring and Happy Easter!

Thanks, Nicoletta! That plywood changed my life, literally! Best dumpster find EVER because I use it in pretty much all my photos on the blog 😉

Makes me wish I hadn't used up all my CSA carrots. For now, I whittle my way through a pile of sweet potatoes but I bet some of these could be adapted to include some sweet p.
