Carrot no-bake ‘cake’ balls for kids
After a dairy free, egg free, nut free, no-bake snack the kids will love? It sounds like a big ask but really the world of ‘bliss balls’ has exploded, leaving us with amazing options when it comes to simple, healthy snacks for kids. I was inspired by my son, Harry and my husbands love of carrot cake and thought it wouldn’t be too hard to get all of that spice and carrot flavour into a small ball. Perfect for the lunchbox (and allergies or intolerances) and a sinch to make, these little balls are all of the fun with none of the bad.
Nutrition Note: the goodness of oats, seeds, fruit and veg are all rolled into this delicious little sweet snack perfect for lunchboxes.

Hi just wondering what sized tin of pineapple you used. Thanks 🙂

Hi Courtney, I made these today and I used a 225g tin of pineapple slices. George and Hamish loved them. Jx

Hi, just wondering if you have any suggestions for a pineapple substitute?

I made these with LSA mix and they didn’t taste very nice. Might have to try them with separate ingredients next time (although I’m not sure it’s worth the risk). It is a shame as it is a nice idea.

These are amazing! I didn’t have any dates left (made date balls just before this), so I used sultanas it still seems. To work fine. Also didn’t have linseeds so I put chia seeds in. Think I’ll be making these every Sunday!

Is there an alternative to coconut in these (and the other ball recipes?). Or do they still taste good/ work if you leave it out?

Hello. Do these work without the coconut or is there an alternative (I’m struggling to find dessicated coconut my nut allergic daughter can eat). Thanks Sarah

These are fabulous. A regular in our household and my 15 month old loves them. I have found that they freeze really well and have also made them without the seeds (subbing in extra oats), with great results.

It honk these are my 16month old son’s all time favourite food – anytime he sees one coming his way he gets a gigantic smile on his face.

Just made this with some slight modification as I didnt have some ingredients.
I used pumpkin seeds and no linseed, sunflower or pineapple and my 15month
old loved them. I will buy the listed ingredients and try next time but its a good
base recipe to modify depending on whats available. Loved by toddler and mum!
