Instructions

Finely shred the carrots and pat them dry with a paper towel if needed.
In a medium bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, cashew butter, shredded carrots, applesauce, maple syrup, raisins, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until a thick dough forms.
Scoop the mixture into bite-sized portions (about 1 Tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 10-15 minutes until firm.
Melt the white chocolate bar and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then place back on the parchment. Top with crushed walnuts if desired.
Refrigerate or freeze until the chocolate coating is set. Store in the fridge until ready to enjoy.

Notes

Make sure to dry the shredded carrots to avoid a soggy mixture.
You can substitute any nut butter for cashew butter if preferred.
Feel free to add other mix-ins like chia seeds or coconut flakes for variety.
