Carrot Cake Bites

Print Recipe
Prep Time:15 minutes
Total Time:1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup packed Medjool dates pitted (about 6-7 dates)
  • 1 cup walnut halves plus 1/4 cup roughly chopped walnut halves
  • 2 carrots peeled and finely grated
  • 2 heaping tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 - 1-2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut for rolling bites in

Instructions

  • Grate carrots and set aside.
  • In a food processor, add 1 cup of walnuts and dates and then process until everything is broken down into small pieces. It will look/feel kind of pasty as the dates stick to the walnuts.
  • Add the carrots, coconut oil, vanilla, sea salt, pumpkin pie spice and coconut flour. Process until everything is blended.
  • Add the protein powder and process again.
  • Add the mix into a bowl and then stir in the roughly chopped walnuts.
  • Place mix in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to firm up (to make rolling easier) or put in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Form mix into little bite sized balls. Whatever size you like! Roll each bite in shredded coconut and place on a baking tray.
  • Put them back in the fridge for 20-30 minutes or put in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Then they are ready to eat!
