CARROT CAKE BITES

10 dates
 handful raw walnuts
1 cup rolled oats
1 medium carrot, finely grated
zest from one lemon
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp cinnamon
dash of ground ginger
1/8 tsp salt
finely chopped walnuts for rolling, opt.

Rough chop the dates and walnuts and then put them in a food processor fitted with the chopping blade. Process until date pieces are about the size of raisins. Add the oats and process until the oats are ground.
Add grated carrot, lemon zest, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and salt and process until the ‘dough’ comes together in a ball. Use clean hands to form into balls. Roll in chopped walnuts, if desired and store in the fridge. Makes 12-15 balls.
