INGREDIENTS

  • Fruits

    • 15 pitted Deglet Noor dates
    • 5 medium dried apricots

  • Vegetables

    • 1 cup chopped carrot

  • Nuts & Seeds

    • 1 cup chopped walnuts
    • ⅓ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
    • ¼ cup toasted almond butter

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons flax seed meal
    • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
    • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • Flavor Enhancers

    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 🧂 1 pinch salt

STEPS

1

Combine dates and apricots in a small measuring cup or bowl. Add enough hot water to cover and allow fruit to soak for 15 minutes to soften.

2

Drain dates and apricots and add to the bowl of a food processor. Add carrots, walnuts, coconut flakes, almond butter, flax meal, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt. Pulse, scraping down the sides frequently, until mixture comes together to form a mostly smooth, sticky dough, 5 to 7 minutes.

3

Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough using a lightly greased tablespoon measure. Roll into balls with lightly greased hands.

4

Place bites into an airtight container and freeze until set, at least 1 hour. Keep stored in the freezer.
