Pulse the oats in a food processor for about 30 seconds until they reach a fine, grainy flour texture.

In the same food processor, add the soft pitted dates, pure maple syrup, cinnamon, and sea salt. Blend for 1-2 minutes until a thick, sticky dough forms. Add warm water if too crumbly.

Roll the dough into approximately 20 bite-sized balls, ensuring they are firm and compact. Optionally roll in shredded coconut or a mixture of cinnamon and coconut sugar.

Place the energy balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before enjoying.
