Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, mash 2 medium ripe bananas with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
  2. Step 2: Add 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and stir until creamy and well combined.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, a pinch of sea salt, and 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (if using) until the mixture holds together but is not too wet.
  4. Step 4: Using a tablespoon, scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Step 5: Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
