Avocado Bars

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

Combine all purpose flour, light brown sugar, baking soda, and ground cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, mashed avocado, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and well blended.

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Stir in grated carrot and raisins (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated 350°F oven for 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.

Remove from oven and allow bars to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
