No-Bake Carrot Cake Bites

Tender, naturally sweetened carrot cake bites with dates, carrots, walnuts, and cinnamon. It’s a simple recipe and perfect for a healthier dessert option at a holiday party or to have on hand for an afternoon sweet treat.

  • Author: Lora Ulrich
  • Total Time: Under 30 minutes
  • Yield: 16 bites 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 carrots peeled and finely shredded carrot
  • 1 cup packed pitted medjool dates (measured after pits are removed)
  • 1 1/2 cups raw walnuts or pecans
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 4 Tbsp almond flour

Instructions

1. Shred your carrots using a grater and set aside.
2. Cut or blend pitted dates until small bits remain or a ball forms. Set aside.
3. Blend the nuts, vanilla, salt, and spices. Blend until a semi-fine meal is achieved — about 15 seconds in a processor/blender. Then add the dates and shredded carrot back in and pulse in 1-second increments until a loose dough forms and the carrots are just incorporated. Be careful not to over-blend.
4. Add the almond flour 2 Tbsp at a time and pulse to combine. If it is not mixing, you may need to remove the lid and stir occasionally to encourage things along. You’re looking for a crumbly dough.
5. Scoop out large spoonful amount, roll into balls with hands, and place directly onto a serving platter. Repeat until all dough is used up. If the bites are too sticky to roll, add a little more almond flour to dry the mixture out.
6. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 1 week or in the freezer up to 1 month.

    Often women think they can only love their body if they hit a certain number on the scale, feel good in a certain size, or fix something they don't like about themselves. Post this manifesto on your bathroom mirror, at your desk or in your favorite journal. It will show you how to make loving your body a new habit - and get you closer to building a life you love.

    Loving your body is not an outcome, it's an input.
