Ingredients
Directions
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 3
Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough using a lightly greased tablespoon measure. Roll into balls with lightly greased hands.
Step 4
Place bites into an airtight container and freeze until set, at least 1 hour. Keep stored in the freezer.
