Ingredients

  • 1 banana fresh
  • 1 cup rolled oats old fashioned
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1/3 cup dried banana chips (crumbled into small pieces)
OPTIONAL
  • 2 tablespoons oats optional, quick cooking

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mash the banana in a mixing bowl, and add the remaining ingredients.
  2. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the mixture into balls and place in mini muffin cups (so they don’t stick)
  3. Devour.

Notes

  • Roll the mixture into balls and place in mini cupcake liners for easy handling and portability.
  • Add quick oats if the dough is too wet and difficult to form into balls.
  • Customize by including raisins, dried apples with cinnamon, or your preferred dried fruit.
  • Freeze the energy balls for convenient make-ahead snacks useful in lunch boxes.
  • Consider adding protein powder with adjusted liquid amounts for extra nutritional boost.
  • Any nut butter works; almond, cashew, or peanut butter are good options.
  • Vanilla extract can enhance the flavor profile, and coconut flakes also complement the recipe well.
