No-Bake Carrot Cake Energy Balls

Ingredients 

• 1 cup rolled oats, 100 g
• 2 cups tightly packed, soft pitted dates, 450 g
• 3/4 cup 1 medium carrot lightly packed, finely grated carrot, 75 g,
• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 70 g
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp sea salt

 
Instructions 

• Add the oats to a food processor and blend briefly to break them down into a grainy consistency.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until it forms a thick, sticky dough. If it's not sticking together, add 1 tbsp of warm water and process again.
• Use your hands to roll the mixture into approximately 20 energy balls. You can use a small cookie scoop to help get them evenly sized. They should be about 1 heaping tablespoon each. You can roll your balls in extra shredded coconut, coconut sugar or drizzle with melted coconut butter to make a "glaze" and enjoy.

 
Notes

• It’s important to use soft, fresh dates in this recipe. If your dates are dry, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes then drain well before using.
• Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients for best results.
• Store the balls in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
