Method

- In a food processor, add in your dates and pecans until a sticky mixture forms. You will notice it begins to "ball" into a mass.
- Take the pecan & date mixture out of the food processor, and transfer into a mixing bowl.
- Add carrots, oats, coconut flakes, cinnamon & vanilla and knead together with your hands.
- Roll into balls with your hands, making approximately 12.
