Roughly chop the remaining 15 dates (approx 1 cup).
Create one cup of oat flour by grinding rolled oats in your coffee grinder, or food processor.
Mix the oat flour, oats, sea salt and cinnamon together in a medium sized bowl.
In a small bowl mix the vegan butter, chia egg, and date paste, than add the chopped dates.

Notes

Oat flour can be easily made by grinding rolled oats in a coffee grinder. Chia egg = 1 tablespoon chia seeds (whole or ground) and 3 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Mix and set aside for 10 minutes. Oats are gluten-free naturally but often they are contaminated by wheat when being processed. To avoid this potential look for gluten-free oats which are now widely available.
