METHOD
In a food processor, combine the oats, almond meal, pecans, 1/3 cup coconut, carrots, dates, and cocoa powder. Mix on high until thoroughly combined. You may need to scrape down the edges a few times to ensure the dates don't clump. Combine the almond butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in a mixing bowl. Mix once more until everything is well combined. If necessary, scrape down again.
Transfer to a flat surface and thoroughly mix everything together. If necessary, use your hands. Pinch off dough pieces and roll into sixteen balls. If desired, roll the balls in additional shredded coconut.
