Love carrot cake? Who doesn’t? Watching your calories though and want something that has all of the carrot cake flavor but not the “cake”? These No Bake Carrot Cake Balls are just that. They give me the flavor I want from a carrot cake, but are healthy and clean enough with all-natural sweeteners that make a great snack for my girls!

Ingredients Needed

• Carrots – Fresh carrots packed full of potassium and vitamin A!
• Oats – The base which is naturally gluten-free (although check the label to be sure) and are also one of the healthiest grains.
• Walnuts – In my carrot cake world, they don’t exist without them! They add the perfect buttery crunch!
• Dates – A natural sweetener binder.
• Honey – We also love these with maple syrup, too!
• Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Ground Ginger – All of my favorite spices for our carrot cake! Ginger is totally optional if it’s not your thing, but I really love the flavor it adds!
• Flax Seed – You know we’re sneaking in a superfood!
• Coconut – We love to roll these little bites in some shredded coconut. We’ve made these with both sweetened and unsweetened coconut. The sweetened coconut definitely adds the most sweet carrot cake flavor, but there’s still plenty of natural sweetness from the honey and dates to use unsweetened, too.

Fast and No Bake

Step 1: Shred the carrots.

You could absolutely do this with your food processor, too. But I prefer to use the smaller grating option on a box grater for this recipe. Once in the bowl, you’ll want to remove just some of the moisture from the shredded carrots.

Step 2: Toss everything else into your trusty food processor and blend until it’s a coarse crumbled mixture.

Step 3: Add that mixture to a bowl with the carrots and then mix it all together well.

Were you worried about how dry the oat mixture was? Once you add those carrots, there will be plenty of moisture to mix everything together.

Step 4: Roll that mixture into little balls and then give them a little coat in that coconut.

So much nutrition and flavor rolled into a delightful little carrot cake bite!

I love these No Bake Carrot Cake Balls are that they are a delicious treat that my girls love and that I am happy to give because they’re:

• 1. Naturally sweetened
• 2. Made with Whole Oats
• 3. Packed with fresh Carrots

This makes these carrot cake bites the healthiest, high in potassium and vitamin A, little bite of carrot cake you can have! Plus, they’re ready in just minutes – with no baking required!
