Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats, gluten-free certified
- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Instructions
- Add rolled oats and raw cashews to a food processor and pulse until the mixture reaches a fine, crumbly consistency.
- Add pitted dates, almond butter, fresh ginger, turmeric, maca powder, hemp seeds, cinnamon, sea salt, and vanilla extract to the processor.
