Here are the step-by-step instructions for making a healthy carrot cake in a jar for 6 people:

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a sheet pan by greasing it with oil or lining it with parchment paper.

1. 1. In a bowl, whisk together almond flour or coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

1. 1. In another bowl, mix the low-carb sweetener, olive oil or melted coconut oil, eggs (or low-carb binder alternative), and vanilla extract until smooth.

1. 1. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

1. 1. Fold in the grated carrots and chopped walnuts or pecans (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.

1. 1. Pour the batter onto the prepared sheet pan and spread it out evenly.

1. 1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

1. 1. Once baked, let the carrot cake cool before slicing and serving. Optionally, you can add cream cheese frosting on top.

For the luscious cream cheese frosting and topping:

• • Embrace the decadence! In your stand mixer or with a hand mixer, blend cream cheese and butter till creamy.

• • Gently add powdered sugar, mix well. Then, whip on medium for 1-2 minutes till velvety smooth.

Prepare the jar assembly with precision and care:

• • Begin by cutting out cake rounds using a round biscuit or cookie cutter, ensuring they fit snugly into the jars.

• • If needed, customize a cutter using a can to match the jar diameter perfectly, minimizing waste.

• • Equip yourself with a piping bag fitted with a round tip to transfer the luscious frosting smoothly.

• • Delicately layer the jars with a cake round at the base, followed by a generous dollop of frosting, then another cake round, and more frosting on top.

• • Repeat the layering process until the jar nears the brim, gently pressing down on the cake after each addition.

• • To add a delightful crunch, sprinkle toasted pecans or walnuts atop each masterpiece.

• • Seal the jar with the lid and relish the treat within two days for optimal freshness.

• • Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to five days or freeze the jars for an extended storage duration of up to three months, ensuring your scrumptious creation stays perfect for future enjoyment.

Your healthy carrot cake in a jar is now ready to be enjoyed!
