Why You Will Like This Recipe
Trust me when I say, that I've made a lot of no-bake recipes on this site like these Banana Oat Energy bites or Viral Brownie Balls. You are going to love these.
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 who 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

- 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

Poojatuki Lounav Ukurshelvez says
Hi , can use I chia seeds instead flax seeds ? I doe not have any ,.
Molly says
I added 1/8 cup of ground flax seed and 1/8 cup of flax seeds, plus a handful of walnuts instead of chocolate chips. I am going to bake at 350 for 10 minutes on convection. Making this note to remember since I love the mixture already!
Patty says
Made them this morning. We are excited to try them.
Jenna says
During the process stage, rolled oats are first steamed to make them soft, then get pressed down so they look flat.
Every oat has a different shape and texture and that all depends on how they were processed.
Evelyn lairsey says
Can you tell me please what is a rolled oat?
Jennifer says
How many balls did you get out of the batch from this recipe?
