Recipes Baking In between snack

Carrot cake, carrot cake ... all synonyms for a darn tasty treat. On my birthday, one of my best friends not only made me a sushi cake (awesome!), but also a load of carrot cake balls. I really love these kinds of balls; I have quite a few recipes myself for peanut butter balls, brownie balls, bliss balls. These kinds of balls are often easy to make as well as take away and it's a convenient size for a small snack.

When my girlfriend told how much carrot was in it, I was quite surprised! I believe she made it according to a different recipe, but I decided to experiment with the ingredients myself. Of course there is carrot in it, date to sweeten and nuts for a bite and texture. In addition, oatmeal for fiber and structure and nice herbs to season the Carrot cake balls.

I thought the recipe was such a success that I decided to treat my colleagues to these carrot cake balls the following week. Everyone loved them! You can consider adding a little more herbs than is now in the recipe, to give them a little more taste. My advice is to first taste the "dough" and then add herbs to taste. I hope you like them as well as me!
