How to Prepare Raw Vanilla Caramel Doughnut Holes [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

To Make the Dough:

Grind all the ingredients into a thick, moist dough in a high-speed blender or food processor. Roll into balls and put in the freezer until cold and firm, about 20 minutes.

To Make the Glaze:

Melt the coconut oil over low heat, turn off the heat, then whisk in the syrup and vanilla. It will take a second or two, but pretty quickly it'll combine into a thin caramel-y consistency.
Dip the solid doughnut holes into the glaze, covering each one completely.
Put them back in the freezer until the glaze has hardened, then repeat until you use up all the glaze (you will probably have to re-whisk the glaze every time before re-dipping). You should be able to do this about three times total.
Store the doughnut holes in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

Makes 4 giant doughnut holes, 8 medium, or 12 bite-sized. For the dates, you can use pitted, dried Deglet Nour dates that are still gooey. These are recommend using these because they provide an amazing, moist, and caramel-y flavor and sweetness, but any date will do. You can replace cashews with any other nut, seed, or dried coconut meat. You can replace rolled oats with buckwheat groats, dried coconut meat, or more cashews. You can replace vanilla powder with vanilla extract.
