Chop carrot in large pieces. In a food processor, blend carrots, figs, and dates for 10-15 seconds or until minced. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add banana and oats and mash with a fork or bare hands. Add carrot mix and raw cacao. Blend together until mixture is uniform. Shape into 1-inch round bites and set aside.
Pour some shredded coconut (if using) on a small bowl, and roll each bite until coconut covers the surface. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
