These look fantastic! I’m going to pin these and give them a try soon! I don’t eat oats, so I will see if I can maybe add more almonds or maybe some hemp nuts to replace them.

The carrot cake bites are amazing!!! I have the worst sweet tooth but these totally hit the spot. It was also easy to sub – I didn’t have raisins & used walnuts instead of almonds & natural peanut butter in place of the almond butter. Thank you!!!

I`ll definitely give these bites a try! Cheap, healthy, and I bet they are bursting with flavor… The only thing I don`t like about raw bites is that they tend to be too moist when I take the too work and carry them in my bag. Any ideas how to make them dryer? 🙂
Laura says
Oh my word! Made these as a protein snack for myself and the kids and they are fantastic! I ended up using sunflower seed butter and sunflower seeds so my daughter could take them to school, and they were still great! Yum!
Sherri says
So glad they were a hit Laura! I am going to have to try with sunflower butter too! Yummmm!
Stephanie R says
Oh goodness, bite sized and carrot cake sound like a dangerous combination to me!!!
