Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups flaked unsweetened coconut
  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (more or less to taste)

Optional

  • White chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Process Carrots: Add the peeled and chopped carrot chunks to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped, yielding about a generous 1/2 cup of processed carrot.
  2. Grind Oats and Coconut: Remove the processed carrots and set them aside. Add the old fashioned oats and flaked unsweetened coconut to the food processor and pulse until they are coarsely ground, creating a rough base for the bites.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the almond butter, pure maple syrup, salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and the finely chopped carrots back into the food processor. Pulse the mixture until it forms a smooth, sticky dough-like texture. You may need to stop and push the mixture down with a spatula a few times to incorporate everything evenly.
  4. Add White Chocolate Chips: If using, add the white chocolate chips to the mixture and pulse briefly to chop and evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
  5. Form Bites: Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls using your hands. Once shaped, store the carrot cake bites in the refrigerator or freezer to firm up and keep fresh.

Notes

  • For a nut-free option, almond butter can be substituted with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon according to your taste preference for spiciness.
  • White chocolate chips are optional and can be omitted for a fully raw and vegan version.
  • Store the bites in an airtight container to maintain freshness up to a week in the fridge or longer in the freezer.
  • The recipe yields about 30 bite-sized balls, perfect for portion-controlled snacking.
