Banana Energy Balls (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
01 -
2 cups regular rolled oats
02 -
1/2 cup smooshed banana (from one medium sized)
03 -
1/2 cup almonds
04 -
1/2 cup pecans
05 -
1/3 cup maple syrup
06 -
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
07 -
1/4 teaspoon vanilla flavor
08 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Dump all ingredients into your food processor and give it about 10 seconds of pulsing. Wipe down the sides, then blend again until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky. Keep going until you see the mix rolling around inside the processor.
02 -
Use a medium cookie scoop to grab some dough, roll it between your palms until round, and put it on a tray lined with parchment paper. Keep going until you've used up all the mixture.
03 -
Let the balls sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to get firm, then dig in!
# Additional Tips:
01 -
When balls don't stick together, just blend the mix longer for a smoother texture.
02 -
These treats will get firmer as time passes because the oats soak up the syrup.
