Carrot cake bites |
My other most recent food passion is carrot cake. Well, my version of carrot cake isn't exactly a sheet cake with cream cheese frosting. Last week, I posted vegan carrot cake chia pudding. http://catsinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2011/09/vegan-carrot-cake-chia-pudding.html
This week, I wanted small bites of carrot cake-flavored morsels so I came up with Carrot Cake Bites.
Ingredients for approximately 12:
- 2-3 T. of raw tahini butter
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and grated
- stevia to taste
- 2 T. raw pumpkin seeds
- 1 T. raw sunflower seeds
- 1 T. chia seeds
- 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 2 T. Artisana coconut butter
- Chop or grate one carrot in the food processor.
- Add the seeds and pulse to chop.
- Add the tahini, coconut flakes, stevia, cinnamon, and continue pulsing until mixture sticks together.
- Roll small balls of the mixture and drizzle with melted coconut butter.
- Chill in the fridge to harden coconut butter. These also store well in the freezer and do not become hard.
Yum! I've really been in the mood for carrot cake, and I love just about anything in small, bite-sized form (easy to freeze!). Your recipes has a couple ideas I hadn't thought of. Thanks for the inspiriation!

Thanks. I like bite-sized edibles too for portion control.
