Recently I saw a photo posted from Foodie and the Family for Carrot Cake Bites, courtesy of Daily Bites.
The recipe and photo inspired me to make a special treat for my kids and husband! We have been very cautious as what nuts we use, and have been favoring Macadamia nuts these days due to the omega 6:3 ratio. Macadamia nuts also contains all essential amino acids, and contains healthy fibers. Overall they are best for us!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of Macadamia nuts
- 1/3 cup of Unsweetened Coconut shredded
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup of Honey, depends on desire of sweetness
- One carrot shredded, about 1/3 of a cup.
- 10 dates pitted, and soaked in water for 5 minutes to soften
- 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoon of Coconut to roll balls in
Directions:
In a blender process Macadamia Nuts, and then simply individually add each item. Roll into tiny balls and then on a plate roll spread enough shredded coconut and roll to coat!
Serve and enjoy! Pin It
Mmm, these look great! Think a dash of cinnamon would add to the flavour? Carrot has never looked sweeter. : )
ReplyDeleteThese look so good! I am going to have to add macadamia nuts and coconut to my grocery list this week so I can make these bad boys!
ReplyDeleteThanks Guys!!! They were yummy and went fast! Alex, I think Cinnamon would be an absolute in this recipe. I would do only a dash too. Next time I make it I may add a little 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract too! So many possibilities!
ReplyDeleteJust made them !! Didnt have any macadamias so used almonds instead...also added 1tsp of raw cacao...Very Yummy !!
