Carrot cake bites

Carrot cake bites are a delightful treat, offering all the flavors of traditional carrot cake in a bite-sized form. Here's a simple recipe to make them:

Ingredients:
1 cup grated carrots
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/4 cup raisins or chopped dates (optional)
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1/4 cup almond butter or peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
A pinch of salt
Instructions:
In a food processor, combine rolled oats, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Pulse until the mixture becomes a coarse flour-like consistency.
Add grated carrots, raisins or chopped dates (if using), maple syrup or honey, almond butter or peanut butter, and vanilla extract to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough.
If the mixture is too dry, you can add a tablespoon of water or milk to help it stick together.
Using your hands, roll the dough into small bite-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the carrot cake bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Once chilled, the carrot cake bites are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
These carrot cake bites are perfect for a quick snack or a healthier dessert option. Feel free to customize the recipe by adding ingredients like shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or dried fruit to suit your taste preferences!
