Soak pitted dates for 5-10 minutes in warm water. Drain.
Add dates and cashews into food processor and pulse until loosely combined.
Add the rest of the ingredients and run for 3-5 min. Add in a splash of water if it’s too thick. You’ll have to scrape down the sides every minute or so.
Transfer dough to bowl and place in the fridge for 30 min. Roll out into balls with your palms and add to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Freeze donut holes for 15 minutes.
For the glaze:
Mix 4 tbsp melted coconut oil and 2 tbsp maple syrup into a bowl.
Dip donuts and cover with glaze. Put back in freezer for 5 minutes to harden. Dip them again. Place back in freezer. Do this until the desired glaze is formed. Three times is usually good.
