Ingredients
1 ¼cupsoat flour
¾teaspoonbaking powder
¾teaspoonsalt
½teaspoonground cinnamon
¼teaspoonground cloves
5tablespoonsunsalted butter
¾cuppacked dark brown sugar
1large egg
1large egg yolk
1teaspoonvanilla extract, divided
1cupfreshly grated carrot (from 2 medium carrots)
3ouncescream cheese, at room temperature
⅓cupwhole-milk plain strained yogurt (such as Greek-style)
2tablespoonsconfectioners' sugar
2tablespoonschopped toasted walnuts
Directions
Microwave butter in a large microwave-safe bowl just until melted, about 30 seconds. Whisk in brown sugar until combined. Add egg, egg yolk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla; whisk until combined. Add the flour mixture and whisk just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in carrot. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.Bake until golden brown and slightly puffed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean with a few moist crumbs, 25 to 27 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and yogurt in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add confectioners' sugar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and beat until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
Use the parchment paper to remove the cooled bars from the pan. Place the bars on a plate or platter; discard the parchment. Spread the frosting evenly over the bars and top with walnuts.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
