Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy almond butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 1/4 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (melted)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (for melting chocolate)
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients and Spices: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy almond butter, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly incorporated into the mixture.
- Add Dry Ingredients and Carrots: Gradually stir in the oat flour and shredded carrots, mixing thoroughly until the dough is fully combined and forms a consistent texture.
- Form the Bites: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the dough into bite-sized balls. Place each formed bite onto a lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Freeze the Bites: Transfer the baking sheet with the dough balls to the freezer and chill them while you prepare the chocolate coating.
- Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips along with the coconut oil in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
- Dip and Decorate: Remove the bites from the freezer and dip each one into the melted white chocolate, coating them evenly. Return the coated bites to the lined baking sheet, and if desired, add an extra drizzle of chocolate or toppings.
- Final Freeze and Serve: Freeze the bites for at least 15 minutes, or until firm. Remove from freezer and enjoy these delightful no bake carrot cake bites!
Notes
- Use creamy almond butter for the best texture and flavor.
- Oat flour can be made by grinding rolled oats in a food processor if unavailable.
- Adjust the spice levels to your taste, adding more cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
- For a nut-free option, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
