Description
No-bake energy balls that taste just like carrot cake! Made with oats, carrots, coconut, and warm spices, these are perfect for a healthy snack or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots (about 1 medium carrot)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup creamy almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, shredded carrots, shredded coconut, almond flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Stir until mixed.
- Add maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is evenly moistened and the mixture holds together when pressed. If using raisins, fold them in now.
- Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll into a ball. Place on the prepared sheet.
- Repeat with remaining mixture. You should get about 20 balls.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
If the mixture is too dry to roll, add 1-2 teaspoons of water or more almond butter. For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter.
