Instructions

Finely shred the carrots using a box grater and pat lightly with a paper towel if they seem very wet.
In a medium bowl, stir together the 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-size portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 10-15 minutes until firm.
Add the white chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off, then place back on the parchment. Sprinkle 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 the carrots are not too wet to ensure the mixture binds well.
Feel free to substitute the cashew butter with any nut or seed butter you prefer.
These protein balls can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
