No-Bake Carrot Cake Granola Bites

No-Bake Carrot Granola Bites Recipe

1 1/2 c. oats
1/3 c. sunflower seeds
1 T. ground flax seed
3/4 c. almond or peanut butter
3 T. honey
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
3/4 c. grated carrot (I chop mine in the food processor)
1/3 c. raisins (opt.)

In a large bowl, mix together the oats, sunflower seeds, and flax seed.
Stir in the almond or peanut butter, honey and cinnamon until well combined.
Stir in the grated carrot and raisins.
Using 2 tablespoons (packed) of the mixture for each bite, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls. Using a medium-sized cookie scoop makes this process easier. Also, spray your hands with cooking spray to stop the mixture from sticking.
Place the granola bites on a baking sheet, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Serve.
Store the remaining granola bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Is it a dessert or a health food?  It's so yummy and so healthy!
