No-Bake Carrot Cake Bites

carrots

medjool dates ((measured after pits are removed))

¾ cups raw walnuts ((or sub other nut,

tsp vanilla extract

tsp sea salt

cinnamon

tsp ground ginger

nutmeg

coconut flour ((or sub almond flour))

raisins ((optional //

desiccated coconut flakes

tsp soft, runny coconut butter

Using the grater attachment on your food processor (or a box grater), grate the carrot 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&nbsp;— 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 (like this one), 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.

Roll in finely shredded coconut (optional) and enjoy immediately or refrigerate to chill/firm up. Or, if topping with coconut butter (optional), place bites in the freezer to chill for 10-15 minutes, then top with fresh coconut butter (if butter is not pourable, warm in a double boiler or in the microwave until a runnier consistency is achieved). After topping with coconut butter, chill bites another 5-10 minutes to set.

Store covered in the refrigerator up to 1 week or in the freezer up to 1 month.
