Carrot Cake Energy Bites

I have been wanting to have more healthy snacks around the house for my husband and I and these are perfect! The banana adds this super chewy, delicious texture to energy bites when you freeze them, I wanna say almost like a truffle. These are seriously so addicting! I run with my friends most morning and my husband does brazilian jujutsu and having a good post snack like this for us fuel our bodies afterwards is so nice and something about these being in the freezer makes them that much sweeter because it's refreshingly cold to help beat the summer heat!

Ingredients  

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 2 cups oat flour if you don't have, blend rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup shredded carrots (about 2-3 carrots)

Drizzle

  • 1/4 cup white chocolate
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions 

  • Mix all your ingredients together (besides the ingredients for the drizzle) in a bowl until just combined.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop to grab the dough and roll into balls. You should get about 18 balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer 30 minutes.
  • Add your white chocolate and olive oil to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 second intervals until your chocolate has melted. Drizzle over the balls, and place back in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
  • When you want to eat them, set them out for a few minutes before to thaw a little. Place in an airtight container in the freezer. These last up to 3 months.
