No-Bake Banana Balls (Printable Version)
Nutritious banana bread balls made with simple, good-for-you stuff for a guilt-free snack.
# What You'll Need:
01 -
2 cups traditional rolled oats
02 -
1/2 cup squashed banana (roughly 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
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Toss all ingredients into your food processor and give it about 10 seconds of pulsing. Wipe down the edges, then blend again until you get a mostly smooth mix with a bit of texture left. Keep going until the dough starts rolling around inside the processor.
02 -
Use a medium cookie scoop to grab some dough, roll it in your hands to make a ball, and set it on a parchment-covered plate or tray. Keep doing this until you've used up all the dough.
03 -
Let the balls chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to get firm, then they're ready to eat!
# Additional Notes:
01 -
When balls don't stick together, you probably need to blend the mix longer for smaller bits.
02 -
These will get more solid after sitting as the oats soak up the syrup.
