These no-bake carrot cake balls are 100% vegan and raw, and can easily be whipped up in a food processor in only 5 minutes. They’re made with nutritious, wholesome ingredients yet they taste just like rich, decadent carrot cake!
Carrot cake is delicious, but also full of sugar, dairy, gluten and other unhealthy ingredients. I’ve had a long-time love affair with carrot cake however, I rarely eat it due to various food intolerances. I was craving some the other day and so I decided to make a raw carrot cake-inspired treat to satisy my craving!
These raw carrot cake balls are loosely adapted from my other raw recipes, such as Raw Chocolate Orange Almond Bites and Raw Coconut Chocolate Balls and contain many of the same ingredients, such as fresh Medjool dates, coconut, nuts and natural sweeteners.
Not only do these scrumptious morsels have the flavour of carrot cake, they actually have carrots in them! Since carrots tend to retain some water these balls have a chewier texture, which makes them an ideal treat for little ones. They are also super easy for little hands to hold onto and munch on!
If you try this recipe (and love it!) be sure to snap a pic and tag me on Instagram with #bitesforfoodies so I can see your creation!

I never really used to care for carrot cake…until I tried a recipe by Chuck Hughes and I fell in love!!!
I love carrot cake, but have never tried it in a small ball form! This looks delicious and a wonderfully portable way to enjoy this cake!
It is very portable…I just packed a few in my son’s lunch the other day.
I love carrot cake as well. But I never heard of carrot cake balls before. So different. Definitely a new twist!
A new and much healthier twist…although I have to say there’s nothing like the real thing, lol!
I’ve always loved carrot cake, but it doesn’t really love me back. This looks like a great alternative.
Lol, I think we can all say that about carrot cake!
