Raw Carrot Cake Bites



A tasty and nutritious treat that fits well with a paleo, vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, and refined sugar-free diet are these raw carrot cake bites. They conveniently come in bite-sized form and retain the flavors of a traditional carrot cake.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 cup raw walnuts
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes for coating
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts for coating

Instructions:

Place the shredded carrots, pitted dates, raw walnuts, shredded coconut, almond flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt in a food processor

Pulse the ingredients until they are well combined and the mixture sticks together when pressed between your fingers

It should have a dough-like consistency

Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls

In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened coconut flakes and finely chopped walnuts for coating

Roll each carrot cake bite in the coconut-walnut mixture until they are well coated

Place the coated bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up

Serve chilled and enjoy your Raw Carrot Cake Bites!
