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
Directions
Step 1
Peel and grate the carrots using a fine grater or a food processor with a grating attachment, yielding about 1 cup of grated carrots.
Step 2
Add the rolled oats to a food processor and pulse a few times until they form a coarse flour-like texture.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Using your hands, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get approximately 12 carrot bites.
Step 7
Optionally, roll the carrot bites in additional shredded coconut for a decorative and tasty coating.
Step 8
Place the carrot bites in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Step 9
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
