Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups geraspelte Karotten (grated carrots) Freshly grated provides moisture and sweetness.
- 6 Datteln, entsteint und grob gehackt (dates, pitted and roughly chopped) Adds natural sweetness and helps bind the mixture.
- 1 cup Hafermehl (oat flour) A healthier alternative to regular flour. Make your own by blending oats.
- 1/2 cup ungsüßte, geraspelte Kokosnuss (unsweetened shredded coconut) Adds a tropical twist while providing healthy fats.
- 1/2 cup Kürbiskerne, roh oder geröstet (pumpkin seeds, raw or roasted) Adds crunch and nutrition.

- 1/2 teaspoon Muskatnuss (nutmeg) Adds depth of flavor.
- 1/2 teaspoon gemahlener Ingwer (ground ginger) A fragrant spice that boosts the carrot flavor.
- 1/8 teaspoon Salz (salt) Balances the sweetness.
