Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup finely grated carrot (about 1 medium carrot)

½ cup almond butter (or any nut butter of choice)

¼ cup pure maple syrup or honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

¼ cup raisins or cranberries (optional)

2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.

    Prepare Carrots: Finely grate the carrot using a box grater or food processor. You should have about ½ cup of grated carrot.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond butter, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.

        Combine Mixtures: Add the grated carrot to the oat mixture, followed by the wet ingredients. Mix everything together until fully combined. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts, raisins, or shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor.

          Form Balls: Using your hands, take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat this step with the remaining mixture, placing the energy balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.

            Chill: Once all the energy balls are formed, place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This will help them hold their shape.

              Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, these no-bake energy balls are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
