Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 cup of walnuts
- 1 cup of shredded carrots
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 8 pitted dates
- 1/2 shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup of old-fashioned oats
- 1 tsp chia seed

Instructions:
- In your blender, add walnuts, shredded carrots, dates, oats, shredded coconut, chia seeds, cinnamon, ground ginger, and nutmeg, and blend until you have a thick, dough-like mixture.
