Preparation

Step 1

This recipe does not list the amount of carrots and raisins.

Hi Granny, the cake mix has a pouch of carrots & raisins that you hydrate w/the hot water.

I can't find this mix ...can I use the regular carrot cake and add carrots and raisins??

This was my first make from the Duncan Hines recipes. Made it for the boys at work - they loved it. They now think I'm the best boss ever!!

I made these carrot oatmeal bars for Superbowl Sunday and they were an over the top hit. I did I must admit frost them with a homemade butter cream cheese frosting. I wanted them to really taste and look like a carrot cake. I cut the entire tray into small 2" x 2" squares so they were pop in your mouth size. Everyone loved them. I would definitely make them again.

This sounds fabulous. We made one from the recipe on the box and it was so much like carrot cake, I've had to make several of them.
