Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 cup Rolled oats (gluten-free)
- 8 pieces Medjool dates, pitted
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Peel and grate the carrots using a fine grater or a food processor with a grating attachment, yielding about 1 cup of grated carrots.
Add the rolled oats to a food processor and pulse a few times until they form a coarse flour-like texture.
Add the grated carrots, pitted dates, shredded coconut, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the food processor.
Pulse the mixture until well combined and it starts to stick together. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the food processor to ensure even mixing.
Test the mixture by pressing a small amount between your fingers. If it holds together, it’s ready to shape. If it’s too dry, add a small amount of water (1 teaspoon at a time) and pulse again.
Using your hands, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get approximately 12 carrot bites.
Optionally, roll the carrot bites in additional shredded coconut for a decorative and tasty coating.
Place the carrot bites in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
