    banana oat energy bite 006

    Super healthy no-bake banana oat energy bites with peanut butter and chocolate chips. They are perfect for an afternoon snack or any time of the day you want. Easy to customize and add in your favorite ingredients.

    Recipe recently updated on 2/1/2021. The recipe before used 2 ripe bananas but that wasn't the right consistency. Changed to 1 medium ripe banana.

    These Banana Oat Energy bites are an easy no bake treat., There's a little bit of protein from the peanut butter and ground flax seed (which I store in my freezer and just scoop it out whenever I need it) to help keep you going until Dinner or Lunch.  All you do, is mix all the ingredients in a bowl with a spatula and then scoop them out onto a parchment lined sheet tray.  Pop them in the fridge for a couple of hours. Anybody that doesn't know how to cook can do that. It's also a great way of using over ripe bananas. Since the temp is only 10 degrees right now, I just popped these outside for a bit until they hardened up. Don't let them stay out there too long. That's one thing nice about having an outdoor patio that can also double as a freezer during the Winter time. 🙂

    What Ingredients do I need for Banana Oat Energy Bites 

    In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain check here

    Bananas - very ripe 

    Rolled Oats  - Are a type of lightly processed whole grain food. If you don’t have rolled oats use any type of oatmeal that you have on hand 

    Peanut Butter - Use good peanut butter that is just ground-up peanuts and no other ingredients added to it. Costco’s Kirland’s brand is really good for this. Can always sub PB2 to make the energy bites lower in points.

    Honey - Always go for a raw honey and one that is unfiltered. Preferably locally sourced. 

    Mini Chocolate Chips - or sugar free chocolate chips can be used 

    Extra Add Ins - Chia seeds, cinnamon for spice, raisins , chopped dried fruit, M&M's, peanut butter chips, flaked coconut

    1. Mash up the bananas in a large mixing bowl.
    2. Stir in the rolled oats, almond butter, honey, miniature chocolate chips and cinnamon.
    3. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll into a 1-inch ball. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
    4. Refrigerate for 2 hours, allowing the oats enough time to soften.

      About a week and 1/2 if you keep it in an air tight container. Never tried freezing them before!

      How long do they last in the fridge? Are they freezer friendly?

      Ha ha! I'm not always counting calories but when I do I add 1/3 cup of peanut butter. 😉

      Tasty, but add a 1/2 cup of peanut butter instead of a 1/3 so they actually stick. You can also add more chocolate if you want! We don't count calories in my house, so I managed to add 4oz without a probelm 🙂

      I think it’s just a bit too liquidy. Though the balls were very yummy. Me and my family enjoyed them. Keep making more recipes!! 🙂

      That doesn't sound right. The oatmeal mixture should be sticky enough to form into balls. Try adding more oats.
