Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 carrots 2/3 cups shredded
- 1 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats gluten free
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 5 dates pitted
- 2 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground flax seed
- pinch salt
- 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut divided
Instructions
- Peel carrots and finely grate them on a box grater or with a food processor and set aside in a medium sized bowl. Use a paper towel to give the carrots a little squeeze to remove some of the excess moisture.
- Add all remaining ingredients, except the coconut, into the bowl of a food processor and blend until it's coarsely ground.
- Add mixture to the bowl with carrots and 1/4 cup of coconut and mix well until it all is well combined.
- Roll out 12 small balls and coat in coconut by rolling the balls in a small bowl with the rest of the coconut.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Storing:
Store in an airtight container in fridge for up to two weeks, or freeze up to 3 months.
Substitutions:
Honey: We also love these with maple syrup!
Oats: To ensure that they are gluten-free, be sure to check the label of your oats. You can also use instant oats if that's all you have.
Coconut: We've made these with both sweetened and unsweetened. Sweetened of course adds more sweetness, but there's still plenty if using unsweetened coconut.
Walnuts: Almonds or pecans are other great options.
Make without a Food Processor by chopping dates, walnuts, and oats finely and add it all to a bowl and mixing well.
