Enjoy the indulgent flavors of these carrot cake bites, with rich cream cheese and a healthier twist. While they skip the classic spices, cinnamon and graham crackers bring a familiar warmth, and for an extra crunch, roll them in crushed graham crackers.
Prep Time: 15 mins | Total Time: 1 hour 15 mins| Serves: 8
Ingredients
½ cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons cream cheese
5 tablespoons carrots, uncooked and finely-shredded
3 tablespoons coconut flakes, unsweetened
3 tablespoons raisins, chopped
3 tablespoons pecans, chopped
2 tablespoons chia seeds
½ tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
Step 1
In a medium bowl combine the graham crackers, cream cheese, and cinnamon and mash together with a fork or with your hands.
Step 2
Add carrots, chia seeds, and 2 tbsp of the coconut (reserve the rest for later). Knead the mixture together until well combined.
Step 3
Make 8 well rounded balls from the mixture.

Finally, roll the balls in the remaining coconut or gram crackers, and coat completely. Place balls on a piece of parchment paper in a container. Refrigerate until the cream cheese has reset; at least one hour.
