Welcome to the AK Recipe of the Month | Ambitious Kitchen (2024)

March is HERE and I’m so excited to share the Recipe of the Month: my Healthier Carrot Cake Banana Bread with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting!

IMPORTANT: please scroll down and read below for all of the deets on this month’s recipe, key dates for the month, the charity, and how to enter the giveaway!

If you haven’t yet, enter your name & email below to get Recipe of the Month updates throughout the month and to be the first in line to see next month’s recipe.

March’s Recipe of the Month

This beautiful bread is perfectly sweet and makes a wonderful brunch treat for spring and Easter.

This bread is easy to make and customize. I’ve noted some great ways to make it your own, but be sure to read through the recipe blog postitself to get all of the deets:!

DIY quick oats. If you don’t have quick oats, simply place 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats in a blender and pulse for 20-30 seconds until the oats break down a bit.
Swap your sweetener. You can use 1/3 cup honey or pure maple syrup in place of the coconut sugar if you’d like.
Keep it refined sugar free. Feel free to try using my paleo powdered sugar in the frosting!
Add your favorite mix-ins. Shredded coconut flakes, raisins, pecans instead of walnuts, or pineapple would all be delicious.
Make muffins. Turn this recipe into carrot cake banana muffins or cupcakes by following the recipe, adding the batter to a well-greased muffin tin and baking around 15-20 minutes.
