How to make Carrot Cake energy bites
We are keeping things as easy as possible. Also using minimum and clean ingredients.
You can simply mix everything with a spatula. Or if little chunks of carrots in these energy bites isn’t your thing, you can quickly pulse everything in a food processor. Delicious, both ways!
I chose to quickly grate my carrots and mix all the 3 flours, honey, carrot and some spices together.
Then we will roll these cute little carrot cake energy bites.
-
- Roll carrot balls
-
- Lightly coat them in honey/sticky sweetener of choice
Trick to easily stick coconut to carrot cake bites
It took me forever to stick shredded coconut to these energy bites. Then I tried rolling the balls in little honey first and coated them with coconut then!
Works like a charm!

- Roll into coconut flakes
-
- Look how beautifully they stick, no sweat!
Also if you find coconut flakes are a little to long, you can roughly cut them using a knife. They stick so much better this way!
So easy to put together, don’t even require to turn that oven on and these carrot cake energy bites taste like a carrot cake. Pinky swear!

- 2 Tbsp Coconut flour
- 1/2 Cup (64 gms) Almond flour
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Honey
- 1/4 cup (30 gms) Carrots (Grated)
- 1/4 tsp Spices (I use 1/8 tsp cinnamon, 1/8 tsp cardamom, 1/8 tsp ginger, a pinch of nutmeg)
- 1/4 Cup Coconut (shredded)
- 2 tsp Honey
1. Mix all the ingredients- carrots, honey, spices, coconut, oats and almond flour in a mixing bowl and stir together using a spatula. Stir till the mixture starts coming together.
2. Alternatively you can process all the ingredients in a food processor till the mixture sticks together. But the dough shouldn't get too sticky or wet!
3. Roll the dough between your hands into 6 balls.
4. Take some honey in a plate and roll these balls lightly in it before coating with coconut.
5. Store the bite in refrigerator. Enjoy!
