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.
