This year I prepared a feast for our family for Easter brunch.

I always get inspired to make something new when the spring weather comes to Chicago. This year the new recipe I whipped up were these paleo carrot drops.

They’re not a biscuit and they’re not a cookie.

They’re not quite an appetizer and they’re not really a dessert. Actually, they’re pretty difficult to categorize but that’s typically how it goes for me when I’m playing in the kitchen. They could definitely pass for either but if I had to pick, I’d say these paleo carrot drops make a great snack.

They’d fit perfectly into a lunch box or even served as a midday snack. Pop a couple in your mouth before or after your workout. Once you have a batch on hand, I’m not too worried, I know you’ll find the best time and place to eat them.

The Carrot Drop Inspiration

My initial goal was to highlight carrots in a new recipe. I wanted an additional vegetarian recipe that my mother-in-law could enjoy along with all the other goodies I had prepared.

I didn’t want an end product that was too sweet so I decided against adding a sweetener like raw honey or maple syrup.

Jeff’s always a fan of raisins but he likes eating them on their own, not necessarily as an ingredient mixed into his food. So I looked in the cabinet for what other dried fruit I had available and when my eyes met the little dried currants, I couldn’t have been happier.

Since I wanted to make a bite-size carrot something-or-other, the currants were the perfect addition to satisfy the hint of sweetness I was going for!

While I was in the pantry I grabbed the raw pecans and a bag of shredded coconut along with the dried currants. I added all the ingredients to a bowl, mixed everything together and added an egg to help bind everything together.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to form the drop biscuit/cookie I was imagining or not until I tried to mold the first one. In the end I wound up using my mini muffin pan lined with mini muffin parchment paper liners to help them keep their form while baking.

Cooling & Storing Your Carrot Drops

Once the carrot drops are cooked, transfer them to a solid surface to cool (I used a rimmed baking sheet) so they keep their shape.

You can enjoy these little guys warm or cold. Store leftovers in a covered container in the fridge.

All of our non-paleo family members enjoyed them, which is why I was excited to share this recipe with you. :)

Paleo Carrot Drops

Paleo Carrot Drop

Yield: 48 carrot drops

Ingredients

  • 1lb carrots, peeled & shredded
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded coconut
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 3 tablespoons dried currants
  • 2 large eggs
  • pinch of coarse ground sea salt

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. If you haven't already, shred your peeled carrots in a food processor using the shredding attachment.
  3. Add shredded carrots to a large mixing bowl. Add coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg, pecans and currants and stir to combine well.
  4. Whisk eggs in a small bowl and add to the carrot mixture along with a pinch or two of sea salt. Stir to combine until eggs are equally coated.
  5. Add a teaspoon of mixture to each well of a parchment paper lined mini baking pan. Transfer the tray to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or once the carrot starts to brown on top. Remove the carrot drops from the pan and refill the wells with a second batch of parchment paper liners and carrot mixture. Continue until all the batter is gone.
  6. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Serve cold or warm.
  7. Enjoy! :)
