Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, mash 1 medium ripe banana with a fork until smooth and slightly creamy.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 cup rolled oats, 1/3 cup natural peanut butter, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup chopped almonds to the mashed banana. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined into a sticky dough.
  3. Step 3: Using your hands, roll the mixture into 12 equal-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, pressing firmly to hold their shape.
  4. Step 4: Place the energy bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
