Raw Vegan Carrot Cake Bites

Ingredients

• 1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped
• 1/2 cup almond butter
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
• 2 cups flaked unsweetened coconut
• 2 cups old fashioned oats
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (more or less to taste)
• white chocolate chips (optional)

Steps

1. 1

   Add carrot chunks to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. (You should have a generous 1/2 cup.)

2. 2

   Remove carrots and set aside. Add oats and coconut. Pulse until coarsely ground.

3. 3

   Add all other ingredients, including the chopped carrots. Pulse until a smooth-ish, sticky “dough” forms. (You might have to push it down with a spatula a few times to help it along.)

4. 4

   Add white chocolate chips and pulse until chopped.

5. 5

   Roll into balls. Store in the fridge or freezer. Mwah! This week is looking good.
