Miss Rabbit’s Delicious No-Bake Energy Bites made with carrots from Peppa’s Vegetable Garden (Sponsored Post)

No Bake Carrot Cake Energy Bites

Getting our kids to eat healthy and try new foods is something that most of us are striving for on a daily basis.

But encouraging children to eat good nutritious food is not always easy. Especially when they are bombarded with sugary processed snacks in advertising and in shops. 

I’ve teamed up with Ladybird Books to show how using our favourite little piggy, Peppa, can help to foster healthier habits for kids.

The newly released Peppa’s Vegetable Garden is a board book aimed at children aged 2-6 years. In the book, Grandpa Pig introduces Peppa and George to the joys of growing their own vegetables in the garden. Peppa and George have lots of fun choosing what veggies to grow, planting their seeds and learning to be patient as they grow. They then enjoy a delicious vegetable feast!

Peppa's Vegetable Garden Book

To celebrate the launch of Peppa’s Vegetable Garden I’ve made a these delicious Carrot Cake Energy Bites, inspired by the vegetables that Peppa and George grow.

Making The Carrot Cake Energy Bites

These energy bites are so easy to make. They require no cooking or baking, the ingredients are simply mixed together in a bowl. This is a great way to get the kids involved in making their own snacks.

The bites are made with oats which provide lots of fibre and slow-releasing energy. Making them a great afternoon snack for growing kids. The carrots provide a lovely sweetness and when coupled with a touch of cinnamon, help the bites to taste like carrot cake!

    Love it! Made it for my 2 year old just now, can’t wait for him to try it tomorrow. If possible, can you please provide info on carbs? I recommend this recipe to my friend who’s daughter is 3y and has diabetes. It would be of a great help for moms like my friend, to know the nutritional facts. Thanks!

      Hi Helena! So glad you like the recipe. If you scroll down to the bottom of the recipe, you’ll find nutritional information there. If the information your friend needs isn’t there, you could try putting the recipe ingredients into something like MyFitness Pal or apps like Nutricheck. Hope this helps.

    My 2 year old and I made these. She doesn’t like carrot but because they are ‘Miss Rabbit’s’ balls, it’s not an issue! Half of the mixture didn’t make it into balls, somebody scoffed it! Given me the confidence to try some of your different ones now. Thanks.

    What type of oats do you use? Quick oats, rolled oats, etc? I can’t wait to try these. Thanks!

    Made these as all your other energy ball recipes are so good and yet again another marvellous recipe! The kids love Peppa and we had a lot of fun making these and are even thinking of growing some fruit and veg now!

    My daughter loved these! Have made a big batch to keep in the fridge but I don’t think they will last very long!
