Soak the dates in hot water for 15 minutes

Drain but keep some water in the container

Place dates, rolled oats and almonds in a mixer and process on high for about a minute

Add the rest of the ingredients and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until dough is formed

Check texture by pinching the dough between fingers

It should be sticky and able to keep its shape

If the mixture is too dry, add more water in which you have soaked the dates

Using a tablespoon, scoop out dough and roll between palms to form the small balls

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until serving
