Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup grated carrots
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup pitted dates
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Add the oats, dates, almond butter, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to a food processor.
  • Pulse the mixture until it begins to stick together and the dates are broken down.
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the grated carrots until evenly combined.
  • Scoop out portions and roll them into small balls with your hands.
  • Place the balls on a plate and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

If the mixture feels too dry to roll, add another spoonful of almond butter before shaping. Store the finished balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. They work well as a make-ahead snack for Halloween week since the flavors stay steady after chilling.
