Carrot Cake Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

For the Bars:
1 Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
2 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
3 Next, add in eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until incorporated.
4 Add in your flour, cinnamon, baking soda, sea salt, baking powder, nutmeg, and cloves. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, mix until fully incorporated. The dough should be thick & sticky.
5 Pour in the freshly grated carrots, raisins, and walnuts. I don't like a ton of walnuts so I did 1/3 cup. If you like a good amount, add in 1/2 cup without changing anything else. Mix until well combined.
6 Pour dough into a sprayed and lined (using parchment paper) 8x8 baking dish. Bake for 32-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
7 Let the bars cool completely. While cooling, prepare the icing.
For the Frosting:
1 To make the frosting, in a medium mixing bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter with an electric hand mixer. Add in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar (1 cup at a time). Mix until a thick frosting is made!
2 Once the bars are completely cooled, cover the top in frosting. Sprinkle with cinnamon & enjoy! Cut into 9 large bars or 12 smaller ones!
