Enjoy these cinnamon energy balls as an on-the-go breakfast, snack, or easy dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup medjool dates, tightly packed (~15 dates)
- 1/2 cup oats, preferably quick oats
- 1 + 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 + 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt, less if your cashews are salted
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor.
- Process the ingredients until a nearly-smooth, sticky dough forms. See notes if your dough isn’t sticking together.
- Use a mini cookie scoop or a tablespoon to scoop the dough into 13-15 rounds. Roll each round of dough into a ball. Enjoy!
Notes
- Don’t forget to pit the medjool dates.
- If your dates are dry and hard, you may have a difficult time processing the ingredients into a sticky dough. If this is the case, simply add 1 tsp melted coconut oil. Alternatively, add in a few extra medjool dates.
