Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C), creating an ideal baking environment for these delectable carrot cake bites.
- Grate fresh carrots into a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring uniform texture for optimal moisture distribution.
- Whisk together flour, brown sugar, and eggs until a smooth, cohesive mixture emerges, incorporating each ingredient thoroughly.
- Fold in chocolate chips gently, allowing them to be evenly dispersed throughout the batter without breaking or crushing.
- Drizzle vegetable oil into the mixture, stirring consistently to create a silky, well-integrated base that promises rich flavor and tender texture.
- Prepare a baking pan by coating it with a light layer of butter or non-stick spray, preventing potential sticking and ensuring easy removal.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread the mixture evenly and create a uniform surface for consistent baking.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven, allowing the cake bites to transform for 20-25 minutes until a clean toothpick test confirms complete cooking.
- Remove from the oven and let the carrot cake bites cool slightly, allowing the chocolate chips to set and the flavors to meld together before serving.
Notes
- Quick cleanup means lining your baking pan with parchment paper for effortless removal and less messy washing afterward.
- Grated carrots should be slightly squeezed to remove excess moisture, ensuring your cake bites remain perfectly textured and not soggy.
- Chocolate chips can be mixed with a tablespoon of flour before adding to the batter, preventing them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
