Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup finely shredded carrots about 2 medium carrots
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 0.75 cup Medjool dates pitted
  • 2 tbsp almond butter or coconut oil

Method
 

  1. Pulse rolled oats in a food processor until partially ground.
  2. Add dates and almond butter; blend until a sticky dough starts to form.
  3. Add shredded carrots, raisins, spices, salt, and vanilla. Pulse until well combined.
  4. If dough is too wet, add more oats; if too dry, add 1 tbsp water or almond butter.
  5. Fold in optional ingredients like nuts, protein powder, or coconut.
  6. Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls using your hands.
  7. Place bites on a tray and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Roll in shredded coconut or crushed walnuts for extra texture. Customize with dried pineapple, chocolate chips, or swap raisins for chopped dates.
