Bite-sized goodness for any time of day.
There is something about this combination of spices that is irresistible. I literally love anything in carrot cake form - cake, oats, muffins, bliss bites, you name it!
These bites are perfect for snacking on since they are packed with warming spices, nutrient-dense ingredients and just the right amount of sweetness. I am not a one-muffin kind of girl, with these mini bites, you can grab a whole handful.
Enjoy them warmed up with some honey or nut butter for a treat that will warm your heart and your body. You can store them in the fridge and eat them cold as well. They won't last long!
