No-Bake Carrot Cake Energizing Ball
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup carrot peeled and finely shredded
- 1¾ cup walnuts
- 1 cup medjool dates packed, pitted and measured after pits removed
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 4-6 tbsp coconut flour or sub almond flour
- 1/4 cup raisins or sub other dried fruit
Instructions
- Grate the carrot (or use your food processor) and set
aside. - To the food processor, add the pitted dates and blend until small bits remain or a ball forms. Remove from food processor and set aside.
To the food processor, add walnuts, vanilla, salt, and
spices. Blend until a semi-fine meal is achieved — about 15 seconds. Then add the dates and shredded carrot back in and pulse in 1-second increments
until a loose dough forms and the carrots are just incorporated. Be careful not
to over-blend. You're looking for a pliable dough, not a purée. - Add coconut flour 2 Tbsp (18 g) at a time and pulse to
combine. If it is not mixing, you may need to remove the lid and stir occasionally to encourage things along. You’re not looking for a paste or purée here, but a tender, crumbly dough. Once well combined, add raisins (optional) and
pulse/stir once more to combine. - Scoop out 2-Tablespoon amounts using a cookie scooper,
roll into balls with hands, and place directly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or serving platter. Repeat until all dough is used up. If the bites are too sticky to roll, add a little more coconut or almond flour to dry the mixture out.
