Ingredients:
Step 1: Blend Ingredients
Begin your adventure by gathering all your ingredients. Then, peel and shred your carrots until you have a full cup's worth. Pit your Medjool dates if they aren't already. Toss these ingredients into your trusty food processor along with the shredded coconut, raw cashews, cinnamon, and ginger powder. Pulse until the mixture becomes fine and cohesive. This is where the magic starts - the blending of these simple ingredients fills your kitchen with a scent reminiscent of autumnal goodness.
Pro Tip: Soak the dates in warm water for 10 minutes if they're too firm, for easier blending.
Step 2: Shape and Chill
With the mixture now ready, it’s time to get your hands a little sticky. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture. Roll each portion between the palms of your hands to form perfect little bites. If you’re feeling a tad adventurous, roll these bites in sesame seeds, shredded coconut, or chopped almonds for an extra crunch and visual appeal. Once all your bites are ready, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. A little tip: chilling them in the fridge for about 15 minutes before serving makes them even more delicious.
Pro Tip: Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking.
