Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup finely grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, grated carrots, almond flour, shredded coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. If using, fold in the raisins or walnuts.
- Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

- Once chilled, store the carrot cake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in a teaspoon of ginger or a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra nutrition.
- You can substitute the almond flour with whole wheat flour or oat flour for a different texture.
