Instructions Step-by-step

  1. Add the oats, cashews, and cinnamon to a food processor and process until the oats and cashews become a coarse flour.

  2. Add the pitted dates to the food processor and process all ingredients together.

  3. Add the vanilla and water (starting with 3 teaspoons) to the food processor and continue processing until the dough starts to form a ball or sticks together when pinched, adding more water as needed.

  4. Spread the dough out on a surface and sprinkle the raisins on top, then fold the dough together until the raisins are well incorporated.

  5. Roll the dough into 12-15 small balls and place them into a large glass container to enjoy immediately or transfer to the refrigerator to set.
