Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup cashews
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup (packed full) pitted dates
- ¼ cup raisins (optional)
- 1-5 teaspoons of water, as needed
Instructions
- In a food processor, add the oats, cashews (or hemp seeds), and cinnamon. Process until oats and cashews are a coarse flour.
- Add the dates to the food processor. Process the ingredients together.
- Add the vanilla and pulse together. If the dough is not sticking together, add 1-5 teaspoons of water (start with 1 and add more as needed). Continue to process until the dough starts to form a ball or at least sticks together when pinched.
- Spread the dough out and sprinkle the raisins on top. Fold the dough together until the raisins are well incorporated into the mixture.
- Roll the dough into 12-15 small balls. Place the bites into a large glass container. Enjoy as is, or transfer to the fridge or the freezer to allow it to set.
Notes
Variations: Omit the raisins for a cinnamon oatmeal bite. Swap the 1/2 cup dates with 1/2 cup raisins. Use 1/2 cup hemp seeds in place of the 1/2 cup of cashews.
