Ingredients
  

2 cups shredded carrots (about 2 medium carrots)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

½ cup cream cheese, softened

¼ cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup rolled oats

½ cup crushed walnuts or pecans (optional)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Carrots: Start by peeling and shredding the carrots using a grater or food processor. Set aside.

    Mix Yogurt and Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Use a handheld mixer or whisk to blend them until smooth and creamy.

      Add Sweetness and Flavor: Stir in the honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well until fully incorporated.

        Incorporate Carrots and Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the shredded carrots, rolled oats, and crushed walnuts (if using). Add raisins or dried cranberries for an extra touch of sweetness and texture in this step.

          Form the Drops: Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten them slightly to create cookie drop shapes.

            Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let it chill for at least 3-4 hours, or until the drops are completely frozen.

              Serve: Once frozen, transfer the Carrot Cake Drops to an airtight container. Store in the freezer and enjoy within a month. Serve them straight from the freezer for a cool treat or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes for a softer bite.
