Recipe Card
ingredients
- 50 grams carrots, shredded
- 3/4 cup raisins, soaked in boiled water for at least 10 minutes
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon ground flax/chia seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
Method
Step 1
Pat carrots and raisins dry with a towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Optional: Toast oats, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds for a nuttier flavor.
Step 3
In a food processor, blend raisins, peanut butter, ground flax/chia seeds, cinnamon, and nutmeg until they turn into a paste.
Step 4
Add oats and walnuts and pulse to combine. You won't get a smooth mixture, but the oats and walnuts should be broken down into small pieces.
Step 5
Transfer raisin mixture to a bowl and mix in pumpkin seeds and carrots.
Step 6
Cover the bowl and chill in the fridge for 30-60 minutes (they will be less sticky after chilling).
Step 7
Roll into balls about 1-2 tablespoons in size. You can also roll the balls in shredded coconut.
