Add carrots to food processor and pulse until shredded. Remove carrots and set aside.
Place the pecans, oats and coconut in the food processor and process until it becomes a fine meal.
Add the carrots, raisins, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt and pulse until mixture combines and sticks together. If mixture is too dry, add more maple syrup and if too wet, add some more coconut or oats.
Cover and place in fridge for 15-30 minutes.
Roll into balls and store in fridge for a week.
Notes
Use old-fashioned oats as they are heartier than quick cooking oats.
If you don’t want to use or have maple, replace it with honey.
You can replace pecans with walnuts.
If mixture is dry, stir in maple syrup or water 1 tbsp at a time until you can easily form balls without them falling apart.
Use a cookie scoop to have consistent size energy balls.
Place the energy balls in the fridge for at least 15 minutes so they can set up and stay firm.
