Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups raw walnuts (or any preferred nut)

1 cup shredded carrots (about 2 medium carrots)

1/2 cup Medjool dates, pitted (soaked if dry)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Pinch of salt

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup raisins or currants (optional)

Instructions:

1. Blend the Nuts:

In a food processor, pulse the walnuts until they form a coarse flour-like texture.

2. Add the Other Ingredients:

Add the shredded carrots, dates, shredded coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and maple syrup (if using) to the food processor. Pulse until everything is well combined and sticky.

3. Add Extra Mix-ins (Optional):

If desired, add raisins or currants and chopped walnuts or pecans for extra flavor and texture. Pulse again briefly to incorporate them.

4. Form the Bites:

Scoop out spoonfuls of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. If the mixture is too sticky, wet your hands slightly.

5. Chill:

Place the carrot cake bites on a parchment-lined tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

6. Store and Serve:

Store the bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
