Ingredients

  • 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup mashed banana from one medium banana
  • 1/2 cup almonds
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all the ingredients to a food processor and pulse the mixture for 10 seconds. Scrape down the sides, then blend again until the mixture is fairly smooth, with a slight bit of texture. The dough will likely start to roll around the food processor when it's blended enough.
  2. Scoop a ball using a medium cookie scoop and roll it in between your hands. Then place it on a parchment lined plate or baking tray. Continue this process until you've used up all the dough.
  3. Chill the balls for 30 minutes to firm up, then enjoy!

Notes

  • If the balls don't hold together, it's likely the texture is too big. Just put it back in the food processor and pulse for a finer texture.
  • The balls will be a little soft when you first roll them, but they'll firm up as the oats absorb the maple syrup.
  • This is the cookie scoop I use and love.
