No Bake Carrot Cake Bites
These No Bake Carrot Cake Bites taste like a decadent dessert, but they're actually made with wholesome ingredients such as oats, almond butter, carrots and spices.
Ingredients
- 125 g almond butter or cashew butter
- 60 ml maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 50 g carrot finely grated
- 100 g rolled oats ground in a blender to create oat flour
- 25 g desiccated coconut
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
For the white chocolate coating
- 100 g white chocolate I use vegan/dairy free
- 2 tbsp coconut oil use 'refined' or 'odourless' to avoid the coconut taste
Instructions
- If you haven't already, make the oat flour by adding the oats to a blender and pulsing until a fine flour forms. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the almond butter with the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
- Add in the spices, salt, oat flour, desiccated coconut and grated carrot and mix thoroughly until a sticky dough texture forms.
- Take out a tablespoon, roll into a ball and place on a lined plate or tray (that will fit in your freezer!). Repeat until the mixture has finished. Place the balls in the freezer for 30 minutes to harden up.
- In the meantime, melt the white chocolate with the coconut oil in the microwave (in 30 second bursts) or in a double boiler/Bain Marie.
- Coat the balls with the melted white chocolate - I find it easiest to do with a spoon and a fork. Place them back on the tray and place in the fridge for 10 minutes for the chocolate to set. Enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
