Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking pan by greasing or lining it.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the grated carrots along with any optional nuts or raisins.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them into squares.
Serve and enjoy!
