Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather your ingredients and set up a food processor. Add the freshly grated carrots, pitted dates, walnuts, almonds, desiccated coconut, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt into the processor's bowl.
  2. Pulse the ingredients in the food processor until they combine into a cohesive, sticky dough, about 1-2 minutes. Add water if the mixture appears too dry.
  3. Using clean hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. Set them aside on a clean surface.
  4. For an extra touch, roll each energy ball in desiccated coconut. Make sure each ball is thoroughly coated.
  5. Transfer the rolled energy balls onto a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Once the Carrot Energy Balls have set, enjoy them immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
