These Carrot Cake Bites with White Chocolate are a healthy and delicious snack that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Made with simple ingredients like carrots, oats, pumpkin seeds, and dates, these bites are packed with flavor and nutrition. The addition of white chocolate and coconut oil on top adds a creamy and decadent touch to the recipe.
To make the carrot cake bites, start by peeling and chopping 4 carrots. Then, in a food processor, pulse together the chopped carrots, oats, pumpkin seeds, pitted dates, coconut oil, cinnamon, and ginger powder until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Roll the dough into bite-sized balls using your hands and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
Meanwhile, melt a bar of white chocolate and a teaspoon of coconut oil in a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
Once the bites have chilled and set, drizzle the melted white chocolate mixture over the top of each bite, using a spoon or piping bag. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
