No Bake Carrot Cake Protein Balls (Paleo, AIP, GF)
These carrot cake protein balls come together in about 10 minutes, require no baking, and give a little protein boost. Plus, they taste absolutely delicious.
Combine dates, raisins, coconut flakes, and carrots in a food processor and blend into small crumbles.
In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Add half of this mixture to the food processor and stir it in with a spoon or spatula first to prevent the dry ingredients from flying up. Put the lid on and pulse a few times, then blend well. Repeat again with the second half of the dry ingredients. Scrape down as needed.
Pour the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper and press it together with your hands or with the parchment paper to form a ball.
Pull small pieces off of the dough ball and roll into 1" balls. Continue until you've rolled all the dough into balls. This recipe makes about 15-17 1 inch balls.
Enjoy!
Notes
Tips: If the dough is a little sticky when rolling it into balls, you can add a little more tigernut flour OR put the dough in the freezer for 5-10 minutes then roll OR roll the balls in finely shredded coconut. If your dates are hard soak them in hot water for at least 15 minutes to soften them up.
