Carrot Cake Bites

About Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD

Award-winning public speaker, New York Times bestselling author and world-renowned health expert, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD (aka The Paleo Mom) believes the key to reversing the current epidemics of chronic disease is scientific literacy. She creates educational resources to help people regain their health through diet and lifestyle choices informed by the most current evidenced-based scientific research.

These are the carrot cake version of brownie bites, with a similar cakey and slightly chewy texture. I don’t honestly know where the inspiration came from (maybe I was tired of working on nut-free, egg-free recipes for the book). But, these cake bites have the benefit of being portable, containing vegetables and of being sweetened with dates.  They are about the size of 2-bite brownie bites, but you could make them smaller if you want.  Picnic with the kids, anyone?

If you like chopped nuts or raisins in your carrot cake, I think that would be a great addition to these.  Probably about 1/2 a cup folded in to the dough at the end would be about right.
