Carrot Cake Energy Balls
With all the tastes of carrot cake, these easy carrot cake energy balls are a fun, healthier take on the traditional cake. Simply blitz in a food processor and you have yourself an amazing whole-food treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashews (140g)
- 1½ cups soft medjool dates (200g)
- ½ cup raisins (100g)
- 1 cup oats (80g)
- ½ cup desiccated coconut (42g)
- 1 cup grated carrot (110g)
- 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp sea salt optional
Instructions
- To make the balls, pit the dates and add them to a food processor with all the other ingredients. Blitz for a couple of minutes. It should be gooey and soft with no large nut pieces remaining
- Divide the mixture into 15, roll into balls then roll in more coconut. Leave to harden in the fridge.
Notes
- They will keep for about a week in a sealed tub in the fridge.
- I use gluten free rolled oats for this recipe, but any oats will do (they will be blended anyway).
- If you prefer to cook your oats, you can also toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes before using.
