Banana Nut Energy Bites
Oat bites built around banana chips and walnuts, with a light hit of cinnamon.
Servings 14 bites
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Cutting Board
- Knife
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup banana chips, chopped
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. In a bowl, combine the oats, chopped banana chips, chopped walnuts, and cinnamon.
2. Add the nut butter and honey, then mix until the dry ingredients are evenly coated and the mixture sticks together when pressed.
3. If the banana chips are large or especially crunchy, chop them smaller. This keeps the bites from falling apart when bitten into.
4. Roll into balls and place on a parchment-lined plate.
5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Notes
Standard fried banana chips work fine here, but the baked, less oily variety holds together slightly better in the final mixture.
