No Bake Chocolate Carrot Oatmeal Bites

My kids love bite-sized foods/snacks that they can hold in their hands. So one day I thought about making some little no bake oatmeal bites which I knew they would love. I wanted to add a veggie twist, and that is when I came up with this no bake chocolate carrot oatmeal bites recipe.
The veggies come from two different sources, the tub of baby food puree, and some grated carrots.

This recipe calls for 6 simple ingredients and can be easily put together.

Start by finely chopping the carrot in a food processor. I used my beloved Ninja Nutri Blender System. This is by far the most used small kitchen appliance in my kitchen. I use it almost every day to prepare healthy nutritious meals for our family.

Next, mix together everything except the oatmeal in a bowl. When these ingredients are all mixed well, stir in the oatmeal.

Then, shape into little bite sized balls and refrigerate for a few hours. I usually make this the night before and serve it for breakfast or snack the next day.
