    ⚙ Grinding in a Food ProcessorFood processor
    💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)
  2. 2
    Add the dates, oats, cocoa, coconut, honey, vanilla extract and salt and process, until the mixture holds together into a dense dough. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water.
