Measure 1 cup of oats and 1 cup of dates and pour them into the blender.

Add 1 heaping teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the blender.

Add 1 tablespoon of hemp seeds and 1 tablespoon of flax seeds to the blender.

Blend the dry ingredients on a low setting until a thin, floury consistency is achieved.

Remove the pits from about 15 to 20 dates and add them to the blender.

Add 2 tablespoons of almond butter to the blender.

Add a dash of water or plant-based milk to help blend the mixture better.

Blend until the mixture is well combined and has a dough-like consistency.

Taste the mixture to ensure it is to your liking.

Scoop about half a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball in your hands.

Roll the bliss ball in crushed almonds and shredded coconut for coating.

Place the bliss balls in the fridge or freezer for a few hours to firm up.
