Servings: 20
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.
