Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup pitted Medjool dates (about 10 to 12)
  • 1 cup finely grated carrot (about 2 medium carrots)
  • 1/2 cup raw walnut pieces
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened, optional

Method
 

  1. Pulse the oats, walnuts, coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt in a food processor until coarsely ground.
  2. Add the pitted dates and grated carrot, then process until a sticky dough forms that holds together when pressed.
  3. Scoop a scant tablespoon per bite and roll into balls with damp hands.
  4. If using cream cheese, coat each ball in a thin layer and chill briefly before serving.

Notes

If the dough seems dry, add one extra date at a time. For the firmest texture, chill the shaped bites for 30 minutes before serving, especially if you used the cream cheese coating.
