Carrot Cake Oatmeal Bites

Carrot Cake Oatmeal Bites are no-bake, high protein, low sugar energy balls that feature fresh shredded carrots, raisins, pecans, and all of the flavors of carrot cake.

While I'm not overly enthusiastic about dessert, I occasionally get a craving for something sweet.  I never eat a ton of sweets in one sitting, but usually only a few bites and my craving is satisfied.

That's why these little babies are perfect for me.  Each ball is just a few bites of sweetness...the perfect size!  Not to mention the fact that they are low in sugar, high in protein, and they boast the flavors of carrot cake!  Yes, carrot cake!

These energy bites are packed with fresh shredded carrots, crunchy chopped pecans, and plump raisins.  Throw in some cinnamon and nutmeg and they are little bites of guilt-free carrot cake deliciousness!
