I love carrot cake. I remember the first time I ever had carrot cake. It was actually a paleo recipe from Make It Paleo by Bill Staley and Haley Mason! It was so moist and delicious.
I could’ve eaten that carrot cake every day. The reason I don’t is because making cake is quite a bit of work. I love having all my favorite flavors with minimal effort. That’s where these carrot cake cookies come in.
That’s why I love no-bake recipes! These delicious carrot cake cookies only took me five minutes to throw together, and they really taste like carrot cake! Be careful; the batch might only last 5 minutes!

How well would they hold up without the chia seeds? or is there something I could use in their place? Thanks!
I think it would be fine; you could add a little gelatin to thicken if you like.
These look delicious. Do you think they could be made with honey instead of the dates? If so, how much would I use?
The dates help hold them together, but you could start with a couple tablespoons and work up from there. You might need to add something to help them hold together, but I think they’d still be good.
These look so good! Yay for healthy carrot cake treats!
I made these this morning and they are soooo good! They are a perfect healthy sweet treat.
