Carrot Cake Bliss Balls
Carrot Cake is one of my absolute FAVORITES especially during spring time! I also love having delicious healthy snacks on hand, so I made these Carrot Cake Bliss Balls to satisfy. They are made with real food ingredients and are only sweetened with dates! They contain lots of fiber, healthy fats, and protein to fuel your day!
Equipment
- 1 Food Processor
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups pitted Medjool dates(about 15 dates)
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut(plus more for rolling)
- 1 medium carrot
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
Instructions
- Place the dates and pecans in separate bowls and them cover with hot water and let them set for 1 hour.
- Drain the water and pat the dates and pecans dry in a towel to get the excess water.
- Grate the carrot into shreds and then squeeze in a paper towel or nut milk bag to get the excess water out.
- Add the pecans, dates, and shredded carrot, and the remaining ingredients in a food processor and process until a dough like consistency.
- Roll the carrot cake mixture into about 15 balls.
- Add some more shredded coconut to a bowl and roll the balls until they are coated with the coconut.
- Store in the fridge and enjoy!
