- 1/2 cup raisins
- 6 large medjool dates pitted
- optional
- pinch of salt
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- icing
- melted coconut butter

Instructions
- Add cashews, oats and spices to a food processor and pulse until broken down. Don't blend too much or it will turn into a butter.

Notes
If mixture is too dry, add additional medjool dates, or a touch of hot water. If mixture is too sticky, add additional oats or cashews.
