Start by gathering all the ingredients needed for the no-bake cashew carrot cake bites.

Use a food processor to pre-chop the cashews until they reach a fine coarse crumble.

Set the chopped cashews aside for rolling the balls later.

Grate the carrots using a small or large grater.

In the food processor, combine oats, grated carrots, dates, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.

Pulse the mixture until it forms a nice soft dough, indicated by a change in sound from the processor.

Take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands.

Roll the ball in the chopped cashews or, if nut-free, in pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, or flaked coconut.

Repeat until all the mixture is formed into balls and rolled in the coating of your choice.
