Ingredients

• ▢ 3 medium carrots peeled and chopped
• ▢ ¾ cup raw walnuts
• ▢ ½ cup raw cashews
• ▢ ½ cup packed pitted Medjool dates roughly chopped
• ▢ 1½ teaspoons finely grated orange zest
• ▢ 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ▢ ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, process the carrots until finely ground. Add the remaining ingredients.

(If not, add an extra date or two.)
