Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup lightly packed shredded carrot
  • 1 cup packed Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 cup raw walnuts
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for rolling
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Add the shredded carrot and dates to a food processor. Process about 30 seconds, scraping down once, until a sticky paste forms.
  2. Add the walnuts, ⅓ cup coconut, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Pulse 10 to 12 times until walnuts are finely chopped and the mixture holds together when pressed.
  3. Scoop rounded tablespoons and roll firmly into balls. Roll each in the extra coconut. Enjoy right away or chill to firm up.

Notes

The mixture might seem dry at first, but keep pressing. The warmth of your hands helps it come together into a smooth ball.
