# What You Need:
→ Base
01 - 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
02 - 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
03 - 1/2 cup raw cashews
04 - 2 tablespoons almond butter or other nut/seed butter
→ Flavor & Nutrition
05 - 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
06 - 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated turmeric or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

12 - 2-3 tablespoons shredded coconut for rolling
13 - 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup if extra sweetness desired
# How To Make:
01 - Pulse oats and cashews in a food processor until finely ground with a slightly coarse texture.
02 - Add dates, almond butter, ginger, turmeric, maca powder, hemp seeds, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla. Process until mixture becomes sticky and holds together when pressed. If too crumbly, add maple syrup or water one teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
03 - Scoop tablespoon portions of the mixture and roll into smooth balls using your hands, applying gentle pressure to ensure they hold their shape.
04 - If desired, roll each ball in shredded coconut, pressing lightly to adhere the coating evenly.
05 - Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
