Description
Raw & Vegan Carrot Cake Bites are a delicious and guilt-free treat made with wholesome ingredients, perfect for a healthy snack or dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
- 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the walnuts and rolled oats. Pulse until they form a coarse flour.
- Add the grated carrots, Medjool dates, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, shredded coconut, raisins, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using) to the food processor. Process until the mixture is well combined and sticky, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Once the mixture is combined, use your hands to form small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the carrot cake bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, substitute walnuts with sunflower seeds.
- You can also roll the bites in additional shredded coconut or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
