Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the grated carrots, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until well blended.
- Add the eggs one by one, mixing in the crushed pineapple, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, until the mixture is smooth.
- Gently fold in the flour until just incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Baking
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Frosting

- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy.
- Once the bars are completely cool, spread the frosting generously over the top.
Serving
- Cut into squares, serve, and enjoy.

Notes
For a lighter version, substitute half the oil with unsweetened applesauce. To store leftovers, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
