Description

These No-Bake Carrot Cake Protein Balls offer a delightful, wholesome flavor with simple preparation. Packed with cashew butter, shredded carrots, and sweet maple syrup, they make an excellent snack or quick energy boost for any time of the day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup (108g) oat flour
  • ⅓ cup (45g) vanilla plant-based protein powder
  • ½ cup (140g) cashew butter
  • ½ cup (48g) finely shredded carrots
  • ⅓ cup (93g) unsweetened applesauce
  • 3 Tablespoons (58g) maple syrup
  • 3 Tablespoons finely chopped raisins
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 4 oz white chocolate bar (or chocolate chips)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Crushed walnuts for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Finely shred the carrots using a box grater and pat them lightly with a paper towel if they seem wet.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the oat flour, protein powder, cashew butter, shredded carrots, applesauce, maple syrup, raisins, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until you have a thick dough.
  3. Scoop out the mixture into bite-size portions, about 1 tablespoon each, and roll them into balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 10-15 minutes until firm.
  4. For the coating, add the white chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off, then return them to the parchment. Sprinkle with crushed walnuts if desired.
  6. Refrigerate or freeze until the chocolate coating is set. Store in the fridge until you're ready to enjoy.

Notes

Ensure the carrots are finely shredded to prevent excess moisture.
Feel free to substitute the cashew butter with any nut or seed butter of your choice.
These protein balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
