How to Prepare Carrot Cake Bites [Vegan, Raw, Gluten-Free]

  1. Begin by blitzing the walnuts in a food processor until they form a powder (how chunky you want this to be is up to you).
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the coconut, to the food processor and pulse on a slow speed until they all come together. Increase the speed to form a smoother paste.
  3. Taking a teaspoon of the carrot cake mixture at time, roll into balls using your hands and coat in the coconut.
  4. Place in the freezer until needed.
