No-Bake Carrot Cake Bites

Oh my goodness- these are delicious!! Coated them in dark chocolate and finely shredded coconut. Your recipes are amazing 🙏🏼❤️👏🏻

As written these came out extremely dry and wouldn’t stay together. I used some orange juice and that helped significantly.

I’m so grateful for you! I fed these to almost everyone I could and keep making more. My daughter Summer and I will be making these for our yoga retreats.

Super easy and super delicious!!

Super easy, tasty, used for chocolate fondue dippers. Sooo good!

How are these so delicious?! I substituted all-purpose flour for the coconut flour and they still tasted incredible. Thank you for this terrific recipe!

Great recipe that I will make again. Delicious! I substituted dried figs for the dates (thought I had dates in the pantry but did not!), used pecans and added some orange zest.

Easy to follow and they turned out great!

Wow! These are lush I enjoyed making these! Thank-you!

What a great recipe and yummy snack! Perfect for Easter! I followed your recipe to a “T” and they came out great! Absolutely delicious! 😋 It made so many, too! I can’t wait to add some of these into my breakfast bowl :) Love your recipes!! Thank you for sharing this one! 💕💕

I whizzed dry shredded coconut by itself in a blender to make my own coconut flower, the followed the directions. Truly delicious, even by the standards of the picky eater in the house. Right up there with my fave matcha bliss balls. I love to take one to work for a snack, or to have one after dinner as a mini-dessert.

Great recipe. Instead of the walnuts, I used 1 1/4 cups of almond flour. I also added a tablespoon of maple syrup to help to bring it all together.

This is my new favourite recipe! They are SO good!!!

So delicious!! I love making these and do so whenever I can! Also, where did you get that amazing platter? It’s gorgeous!

Really enjoyed them, great taste and texture!

Perfection. You know when you crave carrot cake. I mean really, really crave it? The only thing I modified was that I added pecans because I ran out of walnuts at 1 cup. It tasted better than I could have hoped. My mouth is still smiling. I will now go shout it from the rooftops. Thank you so much for this experience. Deserves an extra star.

I made these carrot cake bites. Again.
So easy & flavorful. I never regret eating them by the handful.

I was about to make carrot cake but then found this recipe. So, so good! How have I not made this before?
It was easy to make, I had all the right ingredients. Used coconut to coat them.
It’s the perfect snack! Thank you for sharing this recipe with us!

Thanks for this amazing recipe. Simple to make and extremely tasty! Will try out the other energy ball variations :-)

Made these as a last minute accompaniment for a picnic. I subbed coconut flour for oat flour and it turned out just fine. They were tasty and used the giant bag of carrots I scored at the farmer’s market!

The quick snack I was looking for! These taste great and look so cute covered in coconut

I made these for a whole food plant-based treat and they are exquisite. Dates are soooo sweet and wonderful. My 2-year old loved these no-bake bites and so did I. Looking forward to trying the other bites on the site. We didn’t top them with anything yet, but I hope to make some coconut butter today and take the treats up a notch!

The date flavor is a little too strong, but otherwise was great!

These were easy to make, and delicious! I used almond flour and added a little coconut . Next time I’ll add some dried pineapple!

These turned out great, like all the “ball” recipes I’ve tried here! Made a few adjustments (reduced amount of dates, used finely shredded coconut flakes instead of flour, and did half cashews / half walnuts) and rolled them in coconut flakes at the end.

Thank you for recipe, I needed to use last bits of shredded carrots and raisins and found this recipe. The only difference was I had the dates rolled in coconuts.
I was surprised when I was rolling them that was almost buttery taste to them. Next time I might blend raisins with walnuts.

This was just like eating chilled carrot cake. I did not use the coconut butter but will try that the next go around. I rolled mine in coconut flakes and made them half the size suggested for mini poppers. My two year old grand-daughter loved making them with me. She loved eating them as well. 5 stars :)

This recipe is a go to favorite in my home! We are huge carrot cake lovers & I love that we can eat it regularly, thanks to your healthy, delicious variation. So good! A must try!

These were really yummy! I used all pecans, almond flour, and rolled in coconut. Thanks for the recipe, I’ll be trying more bites recipes in future.

These perfectly satisfied my carrot cake craving. So good! I have a tiny food processor, and blending in batches worked just fine. I had lots of carrot texture, which is exactly what I wanted. I’m on a “bite and ball” kick, and I think the Lemon Poppyseed Donut Holes are next on my list. Yum!

PS-dates are awesome for preparing for birth! I ate a few a day (and had a perfect birth) and recipes like this really help break up the monotony. So yummy!

Just made these and they are so good! I used half walnuts, half oats and almond flour instead of coconut flour because that was all I had on hand. I was worried they’d be bland, but they have just enough spice make them special. Thanks!

These are soooo yummy. My only issue was i blended everything too long so there wasn’t much texture in my bites. Other than that they were sublime!

I brought these to a potluck and they were a hit! I used the minimum amount of almond flour and the bites were a little greasy so I will have to add more flour next time. Other than that, really happy with them!

These are yummy and very satisfying. I was craving carrot cake but couldn’t bring myself to make one when I only wanted a few bites, and didn’t want all that oil either. Thanks for the great tasting alternative!

The whole fam loved this recipe. Simple and yummy! In order to avoid a trip to the store, I substituted maple butter instead of coconut butter, which I would not recommend– it was too sweet. Next time I’ll drizzle these with coconut butter, as written. Dana, you are such a freaking treasure.

Simply an outstanding recipe! My kid & husband couldn’t get enough of these…in fact, my daughter made a lunch out of them two days in a row…’tis why I doubled the recipe! (I suspected they’d be delicious! :0) So, thank you!

BTW, as I researched the difference between dates and figs (fig newtons were my favorite cookie growing up), AND, figs have a good bit less sugar, (48g vs 63g for dates) I thought I’d try the switch –they were delicious! I did add some honey to sweeten just a bit… So, all in all, they probably ended up w/same amount of calories!
Thanks again for what will now be a long-time-family recipe! <3

Easy and delicious , I’ve made these for a family member who is trying to be ‘healthy’ and they could not stop nibbling away at them. Admittedly i do not own a food processor (*shock horror*) but i own a juice blender. Ok controversial possibly dangerous, but was able to blend the dates and walnuts and then hand mashed them together with the carrots and spices. Worked out great and delicious , will defo make them again and maybe invest into a food processor ….

These carrot cake bites were delicous! One of my friend’s birthday was coming up and I didn’t know many vegan recipes, so my friend directed me to this website, and I found these! I personally love carrot cake, and it had such a similar flavor that it felt like I was eating a healthier version of a cake pop! I didn’t have the time or ingredients to top the bites with coconut butter but I want to try that next time. They were very easy to make, and I was very grateful that this was a vegan recipe that did not have cashew butter, since I am allergic to cashews. Once again, they were delicous, my friend loved them, I ate far too many for something that was supposed to be a present, and I can’t wait to try them again!

I don’t know why it took me so long to make these. Yum!!!

Easy to make, and super delicious :-D

Thank you for the great recipe!!! <3

Great recipe but the texture is more like fudge than cake. (It really wasn’t like carrot cake) I wish the texture was a little more dry. Amazing how sweet it is despite there being no sugar in the recipe. The taste is pretty good. I made them for father’s day and gave them to my dad as a gift. He loves dates so this was a real treat for him.

These bites are amazing! I tweaked a bit, and as I didn’t have medjool, I used diglet noor dates. I subbed 1 cup almonds & 3/4 cup rolled oats for the walnuts; added a small knob of fresh ginger; added 1/2 t pumpkin pie spice and rolled in hemp seeds AND coconut. Oh my, felt like Lucy & Ethel, seems as though I ate two for every one I had left for the freezer tray ?

I made a triple batch of these (!) since my husband and I go through snacks quickly in our house. I didn’t have enough walnuts on hand so I subbed roasted pepitas which I think came out very nicely. I also subbed pumpkin pie spice for the ginger and nutmeg. Overall excellent flavor and shockingly sweet for only having dates!

My boyfriends favorite dessert is carrot cake, and he absolutely loved these! So easy to make and great for that sweet tooth craving.

I made it today and it’s so delicious it’s almost dangerous ? Next time I’ll probably double the recipe! Tks for this recipe ??

I’m absolutely loving all these amazing sweets ! I made this and the Vegan Brownies ~ both were brilliant . Every one at work loved the Brownies and I’m definitely a convert. Keep up the fantastic work. So refreshing ~ many Thanks xx

I made this nut free by replacing the walnuts with an equal amount of ground oatmeal. They are delicious!

Thanks Dana

Another winner Dana – delicious little carrot cake flavoured bites, but with no fat, sugar, eggs, flour – amazing! Thank you : )

Easy breezy!
used walnuts with about 1/3 cup almonds. Didn’t have any vanilla (when did THAT happen!, so added a little banana milk in case it needed a liquid. We do love ginger, so, rather than the sweet toppings, I rubbed my hands with fresh ginger while making the balls, then added a dab of ginger to each. They’re in the fridge now firming. Thanks for this fun Mother’s Day treat.

These were sooo good. Kind of like pumpkin pie filling in flavour.

Wow! Super easy, healthy, quick to make. Brilliant recipe. Thank you

These are amazing. I have been making almond bites for years and my littlest ones loved them. Decided to try this carrot, recipe and they didn’t last….yum.

These are really moist and tasty. I hadn’t thought about using runny peanut butter as a topping, but it’s such a great option.

Um these were amazing. I honestly have never loved a date-based cake bite like I love these. I put them in the freezer and they taste amazing straight from the freezer (like frozen carrot cake cookie dough). Also, my two-year-old gobbled these up for a little treat!

These are soooo very good…thank you. Did add a little hemp seed.

I just made these, and they are perfect (just like your pics!) and absolutely delicious. Thank you for all your wonderful recipes!

Very good bites :)

Made the carrot cake bites and they are a hit. Rolled them in coconut – no frosting and will do it the same way next time. Will also make the balls smaller next time and have 32 to 40 bites. Thanks for all the recipes!

I just finished making these and I literally swooned when I took the first bite. I am currently on a fairly strict cleanse and I expected eight weeks of deprivation but these completely fit within my guidelines of plant-based, grain free, unprocessed etc and oh my goodness!!! Doing a happy dance right now!!! I just forwarded the recipe to my daughter because I thought they would make super healthy treats for my grandkids!!!

I just made a batch of these, following your instructions to a T, and can’t believe how incredibly delicious these are. I satisfied my carrot cake craving without spending hours in the kitchen and without guilt.

Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe.

These are addicting! Used almond flour and rolled in coconut. They taste just like carrot cake, love. Mine turned out pretty soft, I may add more walnuts and carrot next time, but they’re still delicious! I also like the idea some people have to add some protein powder. Thanks Dana!

Yummy!! I didn’t have any useful flour for this but made without and they are delicious! Thanks Dana ?

Yum! We used cashews and rolled them in shredded coconut. A bit sweet for our tastes, I would cut back on the dates next round. Super easy and very satisfying.

Mine came out tasting like pumpkin pie! I used all of the recommended almond flour and they still didn’t quite “dry” up enough like cake however they are soft and delicious

Hi
This is an amazing recipe
Healthy and yummy.

Next time I will make smaller bites (more than 16) because they are quite dense and filling.

Good structure, spicy and chewy

I just made the cake version of this recipe for Easter. Oh my, what a hit! Everyone loved it. Seriously amazing. We frosted with the cashew frosting. Perfect! Thanks you are a great inspiration to healthy and yummy eating!
