Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of choice)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans for crunch)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

A pinch of salt

Cooking spray or parchment paper for lining

Instructions
 

Prepare your workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Mash the bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Ensure there are no large lumps for an even mixture.

      Mix the ingredients: Add the rolled oats, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt to the mashed bananas. Stir everything together until well combined.

        Incorporate add-ins: Gently fold in the chopped nuts and optional mini chocolate chips into the mixture for added texture and sweetness.

          Shape the bites: Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and form it into small bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place each ball onto the lined baking sheet, leaving space between each bite.

            Freeze the bites: Once all the mixture is shaped and on the baking sheet, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1-2 hours, or until the bites are firm.

              Store and enjoy: Once frozen solid, transfer the bites to an airtight container or a zip-lock bag for longer storage. You can take them out as needed and enjoy them straight from the freezer!
