Carrot Cake Fritters

Carrot Cake Fritters

When I have time (which is not too often judging by the last time I posted something here) I like to just browse around on Pinterest. Not really looking for anything specific, just seeing what pops up and see whee it leads my inspiration. A lot of times it leads to an idea that won’t necessarily find its way out of my head and onto execution, but sometimes the idea is easy enough and accessible enough AND I happen to have all the ingredients to bring the idea to life 🙂

So this time I was browsing around Pinterest and a carrot cake recipe popped up. Now, let’s be real y’all, it’s Saturday morning and I’m sick, no sense of smell whatsoever, hence the lack of sense of taste to go along with it so I wasn’t sure how these will turn out but I wrote down the steps just in case.

Luckily for me (and you) these carrot cake fritters turned out so good that my toddler is loving them! and she’s picky! She is actually sitting here right beside me, having her 6th one – if that’s not a clear sign of success I don’t know what is.

So I overcame the lack of senses I suffer from this morning and managed to create breakfast – hooray self!

And to the point – these are easy, delicious and I served them with sweetened sour cream but you can definitely create cream cheese frosting to put on top 🙂 It’s an easy recipe that requires ingredients you probably have at home and one bowl – a winner.
