I’ve done it again – another dip using dry cake batter mix and Greek yogurt. But I added back in some of the cream cheese from my first take on cake batter dip because what’s carrot cake without cream cheese? This dip is also practically health food with the addition of carrots and walnuts to complete the carrot cake batter ensemble. Serve with graham crackers or baby carrots!
Would you believe me if I said I had another cake batter dip idea? I feel like the possibilities are endless!

Cake batter dip? Why am I just now hearing about this? Looks incredible! :)
Thank you, Erin. Carrot Cake is my all-time favorite!!!
Erin, you are a down right genius. Carrot cake dip… Yum! I’m pinning this and can’t wait to try it. I’m so excited for Lauren- I totally voted for her. Fingers crossed!
Ooh, girl, I could see a bunch of my carrot-cake-loving peeps going crazy over this dip!
This sounds SO good! I love carrot cake!
There are VEGETABLES in this. I do believe we’ve identified the healthiest dip known to man. I use that to justify eating it with a spoon, straight up.
Hahaha! I literally just busted out laughing reading this.
