Carrot Cake Energy Bites

Ingredients

• 8 medjool dates 
• 2 carrots 
• 115 g (1 cup) walnuts  
• 125 g (1½ cups) oats  
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg 
• 1 teaspoon ginger powder  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
• ½ cup chopped or blended walnuts or pistachios 

Method

In a food processor, blend all the ingredients, apart from the chopped nuts, for around 30 seconds. If the mixture seems too dry, add 1 tablespoon of plant milk and pulse in the food processor until it comes together.  

Line a dish or tin with parchment paper, add the carrot mix and press down with a spatula or the back of a spoon. 

Sprinkle the chopped nuts on top of the flattened carrot mixture and refrigerate to set for around 30 minutes.   

Remove from the fridge and cut into bite-sized pieces. Keep these refrigerated for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
