Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make No-Bake Carrot Cake Bites.
Step 1
To start your delicious energy bites, grab a small bowl and combine the pitted dates with the dried apricots.
Step 2
Pour in just enough hot water to fully cover the fruit, then let it soak for about 15 minutes.
Step 3
This step is key to softening the fruit and enhancing the flavors.
Step 4
Once the time is up, drain the dates and apricots, and transfer them to a food processor.
Step 5
Add in the chopped carrots, walnuts, coconut flakes, almond butter, flax seed meal, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Now, pulse the mixture, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until it transforms into a mostly smooth and sticky dough—this should take around 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 7
Next, take a lightly greased tablespoon measure and scoop out portions of the dough, rolling them into bite-sized balls with your hands, which you should also lightly grease to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Once you’ve shaped all the bites, place them in an airtight container and pop them in the freezer for at least an hour to set.
Step 9
After they’re firm, you can store these delightful bites in the freezer for a quick and refreshing snack whenever you need a boost.
Step 10
Enjoy the wholesome goodness of these energy bites, perfect for any time of day!.
