- 1/4 cup (62g) peanut butter (or other nut/seed butter)
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (90g) rolled oats, certified gluten-free if necessary
- 1/2 cup (75g) chopped almonds (or nut of choice)
- 1/4 cup (45g) chocolate chips, certified gluten-free if necessary
Directions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small pan over medium-high heat, add the almond butter, mashed banana, honey, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and fully combined. Bring the mixture to a boil before removing from heat. Stir in oats and chopped nuts, mixing well. Set aside and allow the mixture to cool before adding the chocolate chips.
Drop dough onto your prepared baking sheet by the heaping tablespoonful, studding the tops with more chocolate chips and/or nuts if desired.
Place baking pan into freezer and allow to cool for ~30 minutes until bites have set. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to a month.
