Begin by pitting 1 cup of Medjool dates and place them in a food processor. Process until they form a sticky ball.
Add 0.5 cup of raw almonds to the dates in the food processor and pulse until the almonds are finely chopped.
Add 0.5 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut, 0.25 cup of almond butter, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt to the mixture.
Process all ingredients together until the mixture becomes well combined and holds together. If necessary, scrape down the sides of the processor bowl to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Using clean hands, take a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat this step until all the mixture is used. You should get approximately 12 balls.
Place the oat balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow them to set.
Once set, store the oat balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
