No Bake Carrot Cake Energy Bites
These no bake carrot cake energy bites are cozy, warmly spiced, and wholesome since they're made with nuts, carrots and dates for sweetness!
Ingredients
- 1 cup pecans 120g
- 1 cup dates Medjool or regular, chopped, 160g
- 2 cups shredded carrots 220g
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1.3g
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1.1g
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1.4g
- 1 cup shredded coconut flakes 80g (half for the bites, half for rolling)
- 1/4 cup raisins 40g
Instructions
- Add the pecans, dates, shredded carrots, cinnamon, nutmeg, sea salt and half of the shredded coconut flakes to your food processor. Pulse everything together until incorporated and the mixture begins to turn into a dough, about 1 minute. Scrap down the sides if necessary.
- Using a sheet of cling-film (Saran Wrap), shape the mixture into round balls by wrapping and rolling until all the mixture is finished. If you don't want to use cling-film, dampen your hands and use your wet hands to roll the balls.
- Roll the balls in the remaining shredded coconut flakes.
- Place in the fridge for at least an hour to set properly, then enjoy!
