Raw Coconut + Carrot Cake Bites (makes approx. 8 bites)

• 1.5 cups grated carrot
• 1 cup pitted medjool dates
• ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut (plus extra for topping)
• ¼ cup dried cranberries
• 1/3 cup ground walnuts
• 1/3 cup pureed coconut butter* (we love Nutiva’s Organic Coconut Manna)

Place all ingredients (except dried cranberries) in a food processor and pulse until mixture is thoroughly combined, somewhat like cookie dough. Put mixture into bowl and using your hands, mix in the ¼ cup dried cranberries until they are spread throughout the “dough.”

Roll the mixture into balls or press into a pan and cut into squares, then top with a little extra coconut.

Place bites in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, then serve away!

*If you can’t find coconut butter or prefer something else, try another nut butter like Almond Butter or Cashew Butter
