Combine dates, oats, pecans, and chia seeds in a food processor; pulse until well combined and chopped.


Add carrots, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, salt, and pepper; process until all ingredients are well chopped and a paste begins to form.


Roll the mixture into balls using a scant 1 Tbsp. each.


Easy to make. No cooking. Very tasty. I cut the ginger in half. Replaced that with allspice and fresh grated nutmeg. Ginger was a little overpowering and will drown out the other flavors. I also toasted raw pecans in a cast iron skillet and used those. You’d also be more than ok if you just stick to the original recipe.

These are delicious!! The spices are exactly right to mimic that homemade carrot cake flavor. I can’t wait for my 16 yo T1D daughter to try them!!
