Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Raw Cashews These provide healthy fats and protein; roasted cashews can be used, but reduce salt if needed.
  • 1 cup Medjool Dates The natural sweetness acts as the binding agent; opt for soft dates, or add coconut oil/dates for moisture if they're dry.
  • 1 cup Quick Oats Help create texture and structure; avoid steel-cut oats as they are not suitable for this no-bake recipe.
For Flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Essential for that beloved cinnamon roll flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor profile.
  • 1 pinch Salt Balances the sweetness and brings all flavors together.
Optional Add-ins
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips For an extra touch of sweetness and decadence.
  • 1/2 cup Dried Fruit Add a delightful chew and sweetness variety.

Equipment

  • Food Processor

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Blend the Base Ingredients: Place raw cashews, quick oats, Medjool dates, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into a food processor. Pulse on high for 1-2 minutes until a sticky dough forms.
  2. Portion the Dough: Use a mini cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough into small rounds, aiming for about 13-15 pieces.
  3. Shape the Bites: Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth balls, ensuring each ball is tightly formed.
  4. Store or Serve: Enjoy the bites immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature, in the fridge, or freeze them for later.
