- Feel free to add raisins, walnuts, cinnamon, or ground ginger to enhance the carrot cake taste.
- Use a cookie scoop for easy shaping, or a tablespoon works just fine too.
- If your bites are too soft, pop them in the freezer until firm before dipping in white chocolate.
Now, onto some common questions:
- Can I use a different flour instead of oat flour?
Absolutely! Almond flour works well, but you might need to adjust the amount. Coconut flour can also be used, but use less, about 1/4-1/2 cup. - Can I use honey instead of maple syrup?
Yes, you can! - Are these vegan?
They’re not vegan due to the white chocolate coating, but you can make them vegan by using vegan white chocolate chips.
