Ingredients

The following ingredients have 15 Servings
  • 1/4 cup quick oats (25g one minute oats)
  • 1/4 cup walnut pieces (28g)
  • 2 oz carrot (60g, 1 medium)
  • 2 oz medjool dates (60g, pitted )
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cream cheese (or vegan cream cheese for vegan version)
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Greek yogurt (or omit for vegan version)

Instruction

  • 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 1/2tbsp 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!).
