- 200 g goat cheese log crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.

- In another bowl, mix the flour and baking powder until evenly distributed.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay!
- Fold in the grated carrots and crumbled goat cheese making sure not to overwork the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan before slicing into squares and serving.
