Carrot-date balls with oats and chia are a no-bake treat sweetened mainly with soaked dates. Soak the dates in hot water for a few minutes, drain, and combine with finely grated carrots, rolled oats, and chia seeds to form a mixture that holds together, adding a teaspoon of date syrup if desired. Shape into small balls and roll in shredded coconut or ground almonds. Enjoy them as a snack or a sweet treat with coffee.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Soak the dates in hot water for a few minutes, then drain. Let cool briefly. Meanwhile, finely grate the carrots.
Add the carrots, rolled oats, and chia seeds to the dates and work into a mixture that holds together. Add date syrup to taste, if desired.
Shape the mixture into small balls and roll in shredded coconut or ground almonds.

Tip: Squeeze the grated carrots between your palms to release their juice so the balls will be firmer. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes before shaping to allow the chia seeds to bind it together.
