Instructions

Add pitted medjool dates to a food processor and pulse until they form small bits or a sticky paste.
Add rolled oats, shredded carrots, shredded coconut, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and salt to the processor.
Blend until a well-mixed dough forms. Add 1–2 teaspoons of water if the mixture is too dry.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into balls using your hands.
Place bites on a parchment-lined plate or tray and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to firm up.

Roll in extra coconut or drizzle with melted dark chocolate for indulgence.
