Carrot Oat Energy Bites
This recipe started for carrot oat energy bites started as a foray into healthy Christmas food ideas, but honestly, these balls don�t need to be kept for Christmas time, so whether you have popped over to my site to find the reindeer food or to find a lower sugar nut free ball, do not panic. You are in the right place for both.
Carrot Oat Energy Bites
Ingredients
- 3 medium carrots
- 1 Cup oats
- 1 Cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 Cup dates
- 1 TBSP coconut oil or other light flavoured oil
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ginger dried
- Desiccated coconut for rolling
Instructions
- Watch the quick recipe video before you get started, scroll up a little to find it
- Check the notes at the bottom of the recipe for little bits of extra info and help
- Place carrots in a sturdy food processor and blitz until very finely chopped
- Add remaining ingredients, excluding the desiccated coconut and blitz until the mixture comes together into a large ball. This will take some time, 5 or so minutes of blitzing but be patient it will get there
- Using a teaspoon form balls, the mixture will be quite sticky (becuase of the water content of the fresh carrot) , but the texture improves once you roll in coconut. Get the kids involved they will love the mess
- Roll the balls in desiccated coconut
- Refrigerate
Notes
- The balls will be quite soft when first made as the mixture is quite warm for them blitzing. Refrigerate for a good few hours and this will improve immensely.
- This recipe is wheat free but does contain traditional oats so is not gluten free
