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 spatual 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. š
Ok, someone tell me if the Smart Points are right for this recipe. The bananas would be 0 since they are a fruit, so I only calculated the rest of the ingredients. Is that right? My understanding with the new Smart Points system is when you figure out a recipe the fruit is now zero points.

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