Prepare your ingredients by gathering all items needed. Ensure your Medjool dates are soft; soak if necessary.

In the food processor, combine soaked dates, raw cashews, oats, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Pulse until a sticky mixture forms.

Using a small scoop or tablespoon, portion the mixture into 13 to 15 balls and roll between your hands to form smooth energy balls.

Place the energy balls in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
