Ingredients:

  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup walnuts
  • ½ cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Extra shredded coconut for rolling (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prep the ingredients: Grate the carrots using a fine grater and set aside. If your dates are a bit dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes and drain before using.
  2. Blend the base: In a food processor, combine the pitted dates, walnuts, and rolled oats. Pulse until the mixture is crumbly and the dates have broken down.
  3. Add the flavors: Add the grated carrots, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, coconut oil (if using), and a pinch of salt to the food processor. Pulse until everything is well combined and the mixture sticks together.
  4. Shape the bliss balls: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. If the mixture is too sticky, you can lightly dampen your hands with water or add a bit more oats to adjust the texture.
  5. Optional coconut coating: Roll each bliss ball in extra shredded coconut for a lovely outer coating, if desired.
  6. Chill and serve: Place the bliss balls on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

These Carrot Cake Bliss Balls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for longer storage. Enjoy them as a quick snack or a healthy dessert!
