Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond meal
- 1 cup shredded carrot (finely grated)
- ½ cup pitted Medjool dates (softened)
- ½ cup desiccated coconut (+ extra for rolling)
- ¼ cup walnuts (finely chopped) swap to pumpkin seeds for a lunch box friendly option
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
- 1 tablespoon water (if needed)
Instructions:
- Prepare the dates: If your Medjool dates are a bit dry, soak them in warm water for 5-10 minutes to soften. Drain before using.
- Blend the ingredients: In a food processor, combine the almond meal, shredded carrot, softened Medjool dates, coconut, walnuts (or pumpkin seeds), cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture starts to come together.
- Add moisture if needed: If the mixture feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water or a little extra melted coconut oil.
- Roll into balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls (about the size of a walnut). Then, roll each ball in desiccated coconut for a delicious coating.
- Chill and enjoy: Place the bliss balls in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
