Drain the soaked dates and process in a food processor until a smooth paste is formed.
Add the rolled oats, shredded carrots, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is integrated but maintains some texture.
Incorporate the walnuts and maple syrup, pulsing until the mixture reaches a cohesive consistency that holds its shape when compressed.
Divide the mixture into twelve equal portions, approximately 1 tablespoon each, and roll manually into spheres.
Roll each sphere in shredded coconut until the exterior is fully and evenly coated.
Store the bites in a single layer within an airtight container and refrigerate for 30 minutes to stabilize the structure.
