Ever since I make my carrot cake squares on my YouTube channel last week, I haven’t been able to get carrot cake out of my brain. It’s like the spring gods planted a little carrot cake seed on my tastebuds and I just can’t shake it.
Ever since I was a little gal, carrot cake has been one of my absolute favorite desserts. I have memories of my grandma’s carrot cake. I’d eat the sweet cakiness and save the creamy dreamy icing for last. My mouth literally just started salivating thinking about it.
I’m not going to lie. I’m a chocolate gal. If there isn’t chocolate in a dessert, I typically pass it up. But, there’s an exception. There’s always an exception. And, that exception for me is carrot cake.
That loaded up, nutty, sweet carrot cake. So I decided to make a bliss ball loosely based off my cinnamon roll bliss balls (because you guys love them so much!). You can totally customize these, add some raisins, add some coconut shreds, add some dried pineapple. The possibilities are really endless, so whatever you typically like in your carrot cake… do that.
So I made these and kept them in a bowl in our fridge. Jaryd got home from work and immediately pops open the fridge (as he does) and ate one. He loved it. He mentioned multiple times how much he loved it.
So, if you’re looking for an easy snack to meal prep or just want to bring a healthier option to Easter, or maybe even you’re just really jonesing hard for carrot cake, these bliss balls are for you. They’re vegan, gluten free, dairy free, low carb and have raw carrots in there, people!! Holy healthy!
I used the smallest grater to keep the shreds small slivers, but if you like a chunkier carrot piece, feel free to use the large grater holes. So, let’s get into and make some Carrot Cake Bliss Balls!
Pour the peanut butter, agave nectar, and vanilla into your food processor. Process until creamed together.
Add the almond flour and cinnamon. Process again until combined. Add the carrot shreds and pecans. Pulse a few times to chop the pecans and incorporate the pecans and carrot into the batter.
Use a cookie scooper to scoop balls onto parchment paper. I usually put the parchment paper on top of a cutting board or baking sheet so I can easily transfer them to chill in the fridge.
Roll the balls between your hands to smooth them and then place them back on the parchment.
Place the monkfruit sweetener and cinnamon in a shallow bowl and mix to combine. Roll the balls in the monkfruit mixture until coated and place on a plate or in a bowl. Chill for 30 minutes and enjoy!

Is there a replacement for monk fruit seeetener?
Hi Jen, Any granular sweetener that you typically use and love would be fine 🙂 it’s just a fun touch but not necessary to the recipe. Hope you love them! xo
Could you substitute arrowroot flour or tapioca flour or cassava instead of the almond flour?
No, I think tapioca or arrowroot would add a different texture so it wouldn’t be my first choice.
Great recipe for taste! It’s amazing but my only question is mixture was really wet for some reason? Chilled and put in freezer but stayed very wet? Normal?

mm, mine aren’t wet but more sticky. They usually firm up and set once chilled. Maybe add a tablespoon or two more of almond flour to dry them out a bit. Let me know how it goes! xo
These were wonderful! I followed the recipe exactly, and they were really yummy. No adjustments at all. They are a bit stickier maybe due to the fresh carrot, but that worked out fine, after they were refrigerated.

I’m so happy you loved them! You can chill them before you roll them into balls for the dough to be easier to work with. Thank you so much for the review! xo
