Whole30 Carrot Cake Bites
Paleo, Whole30 Carrot Cake Bites are perfect for quick snacks on the go or when you need a healthy dessert to indulge in without not feel guilty about it!
If you are a carrot cake fan, these carrot cake bites are the perfect substitute (and way easier to make!) to satisfy those cravings! It is also a great way to sneak veggies in for those picky eaters that would never eat a carrot on their own. The carrots are easily disguised by the sweetness of the dates. My 5-year-old gobbles them down! If your child doesn’t like coconut, (it has taken me years to learn to love coconut so don’t give up!), then you can always make these without the rolled coconut flake addition.
Making these balls with your kids is also a fantastic way to have them help in the kitchen! Even young toddlers can help roll the balls or add ingredients to the container of the food processor! I love seeing my 5-year-old help make these and all the different size balls he comes up with. He has started putting the balls he creates in his own snack containers. I try not to be controlling on what size he makes them but instead let him create and carry out his own vision for them!
These are so good! I could eat 100 of them! – Fletcher, 5 years old
