If your dates are dry, soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes, then drain well. (If they’re soft, you can skip this step.)
Add the dates, shredded carrots, almond flour, maple syrup, walnuts, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt to a food processor. Blend until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough. Roll into 15-16 small balls (about 1 inch each), then coat in shredded coconut.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving so they firm up.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
