Today we’re celebrating International Carrot Day with this amazing recipe! (which was yesterday, April 4th)
I’ve been dying to post this recipe, but I didn’t want to go the classic route of a date ball. I felt like that recipe needed a kick, hence the Carrot Cake version! They’re filled with all of the good stuff like walnuts, rolled oats, dates, carrots, cinnamon, nutmeg & coconut. With these everyday ingredients, the flavor is outstanding, without the need for processed sugar or flours.
Did I mention these were easy to make? Just throw everything into the food processor, blend it up, and roll the dough into balls. They’re energizing, flavourful, naturally sweetened and contain extra nutrition from the carrots. All this, without having to switch your oven on!
Other uses for this recipe:
- Make bars instead of bites
- Pie or vegan cheesecake crust
- Try making a raw-nola or granola
Note:
- If your dates have been in the fridge, or are looking kind of dry, place them in warm water for approximately 10 minutes, before adding to the food processor.
