Preparation

Step 1

Add the cashews, oats, dates, applesauce, protein powder, and spices to the food processor. Turn on until a choppy dough forms, several minutes.

Add the grated carrot and pecans until thoroughly mixed. The dough will appear slightly sticky.

Pour unsweetened shredded coconut into a bowl.

Roll dough into balls, roll each one in the coconut, and place on a clean cookie sheet.
