Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (375 ml) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded carrots
- ½ cup (120 ml) brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (120 ml) chocolate chips
- ¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), establishing the perfect thermal environment for the carrot cake bites.
- Mixing: Combine grated carrots, flour, brown sugar, and eggs in a large mixing bowl, whisking until a smooth, homogeneous batter forms with a consistent texture.
- Incorporating Ingredients: Gently fold chocolate chips into the mixture, ensuring even distribution without disrupting the delicate batter structure, then seamlessly integrate vegetable oil to create a silky, flavorful base.
- Pan Preparation: Thoroughly grease a baking pan with butter or non-stick spray, creating a protective barrier that guarantees effortless cake removal.
- Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula, then transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cooling: Allow the carrot cake bites to rest briefly after removing from the oven, permitting the chocolate chips to stabilize and the flavors to harmonize before serving.
Notes
- Precise Grating Technique: Grate carrots finely to ensure even moisture and prevent chunky texture in the cake bites.
- Mixing Method Matters: Whisk ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth, lump-free batter that guarantees consistent texture and flavor.
- Gentle Chocolate Incorporation: Fold chocolate chips delicately to prevent breaking and ensure even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Cooling Crucial Step: Allow cake bites to cool slightly after baking, enabling chocolate chips to set and flavors to intensify before serving.
