Ground cinnamon1 tsp
SaltA pinch

Method

Grate the carrot on the fine side of the grater, wrap it in kitchen paper and squeeze hard until no more liquid comes out.
Blitz the pitted dates and walnuts together until the walnuts are crumbs and the dates have gone to paste.
Add the carrot, oats, raisins, cinnamon and salt and pulse until the mix clumps. Roll into six and chill for an hour, which these need longer than most to set.

Worth knowing

Raisins and dates between them are the sweetness; there is no syrup. The walnuts are most of the fat.
These are wetter than a date-only ball and do not keep as long. Four days in the fridge is about the limit.
