Begin by pulsing 1 cup of oats in a food processor until they reach a grainy flour-like consistency, which should take about 30 seconds.

Add 1 cup of soft pitted dates, 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt to the oat flour in the food processor. Blend everything together for about 1-2 minutes or until a sticky, cohesive dough forms.

Once your dough is ready, take small amounts and roll them into approximately 20 bite-sized balls.

For an extra touch, roll the energy balls in your choice of additional toppings such as shredded coconut or cocoa powder.

Transfer your finished energy balls to an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to one week.
