No-Bake Carrot Cake Bites

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make No-Bake Carrot Cake Bites.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious energy bites, grab a small bowl and combine the pitted dates with the dried apricots.

2. Step 2

   Pour in just enough hot water to fully cover the fruit, then let it soak for about 15 minutes.

3. Step 3

   This step is key to softening the fruit and enhancing the flavors.

4. Step 4

   Once the time is up, drain the dates and apricots, and transfer them to a food processor.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.
