No-bake energy bites with all the carrot cake flavor!
Ingredients
- 15 pitted Deglet Noor dates
- 5 medium dried apricots
- 1 cup chopped carrot
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- ¼ cup toasted almond butter
- 2 tablespoons flax seed meal
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Combine dates and apricots in a small measuring cup or bowl. Add enough hot water to cover and allow fruit to soak for 15 minutes to soften.
Step 2
Drain dates and apricots and add to the bowl of a food processor. Add carrots, walnuts, coconut flakes, almond butter, flax meal, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt. Pulse, scraping down the sides frequently, until mixture comes together to form a mostly smooth, sticky dough, 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough using a lightly greased tablespoon measure. Roll into balls with lightly greased hands.
Step 4
Place bites into an airtight container and freeze until set, at least 1 hour. Keep stored in the freezer.
Cook’s Notes:
You can process the dough until whatever consistency you prefer—process for a shorter time for a slightly chunkier texture, or longer for a smoother one. Just be sure to continually scrape the sides of the processor bowl so everything combines completely.
