A beautiful Biscoff Carrot Cake recipe – a protein carrot cake, protein cookie butter frosting, and crushed Biscoff cookies too. A healthy and high protein cookie butter carrot cake that’s low fat and sugar free too!

Those Carrot Cake Protein Cupcakes I made a month ago – totally got me back on the carrot cake thing. What a soft and beautiful cake, and then topped with a beautiful Biscoff frosting. Very underrated combination here of the cookie butter and carrot cake.

But all in all a really healthy Biscoff cookie carrot cake too.


Ingredients for Protein Biscoff Carrot Cake

This healthy biscoff carrot cake is made with healthy ingredients, sweetened with protein powder, and topped with a protein biscoff frosting. Here’s what you need for this healthy cake:

  • Vanilla Protein Powder needed for a high protein cake and also replaces the ‘sugar’.
  • I used Vanilla Milkshake protein powder from HTLT Supps since it’s a whey-caesin and works best for baking.
  • Unflavored Protein Powder to replace some of the flour (and carbs) in the recipe for a slightly low carb high protein biscoff carrot cake. I used a whey-caesin blend from Quest Nutrition
  • Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
  • Unsweetened Applesauce; as a replacement for most oil in other recipes
  • Non-fat Greek Yogurt contributes to the oil-free part of these high protein low calorie protein cake it adds the moisture, and also extra protein
  • Almond Milk or regular milk
  • Sugar-free Maple Syrup for low calorie recipe with no sugar! I use the monk fruit maple syrup from Lakanto (code HAYLSKITCHEN gets you a discount)
  • An Egg
  • A bit of Melted Coconut Oil
  • Spices – feel free to make your own using a blend of ground cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger
  • Baking Soda
  • And of course Shredded Carrots
  • And Biscoff Cookies!

For the Protein Biscoff Frosting:

  • Non-fat Plain Greek Yogurt
  • More Vanilla Protein Powder: HTLT Supps Vanilla flavor again
  • Cookie Butter: I used Butter my Cookie Almond Butter from American Dream Nut Butter since it’s low sugar and high protein and lower in fat too, but you can use regular Biscoff or cookie butter spread too.
  • Almond Milk or your milk of choice
