Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup raw cashews Use unsalted for best results.
  • 1 cup medjool dates, tightly packed (~15 dates) High-quality dates make a stickier mixture.
  • 1/2 cup oats, preferably quick oats
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt Use less if your cashews are salted.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor.
  2. Process the mixture until it becomes a sticky, nearly-smooth dough. If the dough isn't sticking, check the notes for troubleshooting.
  3. Using a mini cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the dough into 13-15 rounds.
  4. Roll each portion into a ball between your palms. Enjoy immediately, or let cool in the fridge for a firmer texture.
