When Life Hands You Carrots - Make Carrot Cake!
Our Carrot bubble bar was inspired by carrot cake, and now The Carrot has inspired carrot cake - just in time for Easter!
And, just like all of our limited edition Easter goodies it's a sweet treat, but without the sugar. However, unlike The Carrot we can't guarantee that it's reusable... it's too tasty for leftovers!
Vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free and delicious - Hoppy Easter!
What You'll Need:
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 1/2 cup Quinoa flour (you can use 1 cup of any gluten-free flour, but I like to do a blend for better consistency)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce
- 5 tablespoons real maple syrup
- 5 tablespoons almond milk
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup peeled, grated carrots
- 1/2 cup of pecan pieces
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- Fine lemon zest, from one fresh lemon
- 1/2 cup of pitted, diced medjool dates
Preheat oven to 350. Line pan with parchment paper. I used a square pan, but a loaf pan or round pan would work well too.
Add the flour, baking soda...

Happy World Vegan Day!
It's November 1, and not only do you get to flip to a new picture on your calendar, but it's also World Vegan Day!
World Vegan Day is a big celebration at LUSH. As advocates for animal welfare, we've been fighting animal testing for over 30 years. Currently 83% of our products are vegan, and 100% of our creations are vegetarian. Our products are made with fresh, ethically sourced ingredients, and never tested on animals. Our vegan products are made without any animal by-products, which means they don't contain eggs, honey, or lanolin. It can be challenging to create vegan products when there aren't alternative ingredients that give the desired effect, or in some cases meet our ethical buying standards. But we like a challenge, and for our vegan employees and customers we think it's worth it.

The vegan lifestyle is becoming more popular and that can only ...
