OSCAR'S OATY CARROT BITES

Posted On: 2019-02-03 11:04:18

INGREDIENTS:

Makes 50

½ cup finely chopped dates

3 carrots, peeled & grated

1 Tablespoon canola oil

1½ cups rolled oats

½ cup ground almonds (or use an extra ½ cup of rolled oats)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon finely chopped ginger

¼ cup desiccated coconut for coating (or more if needed)

DIRECTIONS:

In a small bowl, just cover chopped dates with hot water & soak for 10 minutes to soften, then drain the water off.

Add carrots, oil, oats, ground almonds, cinnamon, ginger & soaked dates to a food processor.

Blitz until combined & mixture has come together. If the mixture is very wet & sticky, add more oats.

Roll mixture into balls a heaped teaspoon at a time & coat with a small amount of coconut. Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Store in the fridge & eat within 5 days.

Tips:

• This recipe can also be made using a bowl & your hands, instead of a food processor. After draining the dates, use a fork to mash & form a date puree before adding to the bowl.

• To make it nut-free, use an extra half cup of oats instead of ground almonds.

• The finished balls freeze well.
