# Instructions:

Preheat oven to 360° F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Add carrots and dates into a food processor. Process for a few seconds until finely chopped.
03 -
Add all Group-2 ingredients and pulse about 5 times until combined. Do not over-process. Remove the blade and stir the mixture to evenly combine.

Using an ice cream scoop, portion about 3 tablespoons of dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.

# Notes:
01 -
Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and soft Medjool dates for easier grinding and binding. If using Noor dates, soak them in water for 30 minutes before draining.
02 -
For the best chewy texture, use old-fashioned or rolled oats. Substitute walnuts with toasted pecans or sliced almonds if preferred.
