Ingredients
- ¼ cup quick oats 25g one minute oats
- ¼ cup walnut pieces 28g
- 2 oz carrot 60g, 1 medium
- 2 oz Medjool dates 60g, pitted
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
To top (optional)
- 1 ½ tablespoon cream cheese or vegan cream cheese for vegan version
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Greek yogurt or omit for vegan version
Instructions
- Place the oats and walnuts in the food processor and pulse a few times until you get a coarse breadcrumb-like texture.
- Finely grate the carrot, break the dates into pieces and add both to the food processor along with the cinnamon and ginger. Pulse a few times to combine.
- Melt the coconut oil and allow it to cool slightly then add to the food processor, pulse to combine. Take small scoops of the mixture (I used my ½tbsp measure) and roll it in to balls, flattened slightly.
- For the topping, blend together the cream cheese, maple syrup and yogurt until well combined and smooth. Dab or pipe a little of the mixture on top of each of the energy bites. Store in the refrigerator - they should keep a few days (although I have only been able to test a day, they go too quick!).
