Cinnamon Roll Energy Balls (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 cup raw cashews
02 -
1 cup medjool dates, tightly packed (about 15 dates)
03 -
1/2 cup rolled oats (quick oats work best)
04 -
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
05 -
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
06 -
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (reduce if using salted cashews)
# Instructions:
01 -
Add all your ingredients to a food processor and pulse everything together until well combined.
02 -
Keep processing the mixture until it transforms into a smooth, sticky dough that holds together beautifully. The texture should be slightly chunky but cohesive enough to roll into balls.
03 -
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough into 13-15 equal pieces. Gently roll each portion between your palms to form smooth, round energy balls. They're ready to enjoy immediately!
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure to remove the pits from your medjool dates before adding them to the food processor.
02 -
If your dates seem a bit dry or the mixture isn't sticking together well, try adding 1 teaspoon of melted coconut oil or a few extra dates to help bind everything.

These energy balls taste remarkably similar to actual cinnamon rolls but are completely raw and much healthier!
