Step 1

In a food processor, add the oats, cashews (or hemp seeds), and cinnamon. Process until oats and cashews are a coarse flour.

Step 2

Add the dates to the food processor. Process the ingredients together.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Spread the dough out and sprinkle the raisins on top. Fold the dough together until the raisins are well incorporated into the mixture.

Step 5

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.
