This new banana chocolate energy bit
recipe is a great addition to the collection.
Okay let’s go over this simple
energy bite recipe.
All I did was mix together rolled
oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, pure maple syrup, almond butter, 1 ripe
banana, and cinnamon.
I know it seems natural to use
peanut butter when creating a banana recipe but please give almond butter a
try. I’m so in love with almond butter, it’s delicious and goes perfectly with
this recipe. The almond butter has a great flavor but doesn’t overpower the
recipe.
When you stir these ingredients
together the “batter” is going to be wet. You won’t be able to form balls right
away. Put the batter in the refrigerator for a couple hours or overnight for it
to firm up. It will firm up. The oats and chia seeds will soak up most
of the liquid and will help the bites or balls hold their shape.
I knew
these banana chocolate chip bites would be good but I wasn’t expecting them to
be as good as they were. It’s almost like a delicious cookie dough ball
that’s good for you. The ripe banana and pure maple syrup is all the sweetness
this recipe needs and wholesome oats turn soft but still have a chew to
them. The hint of cinnamon and vanilla add a layer of flavor that sends
these energy bites over the top. And really how can we go wrong with chocolate
chips.These banana chocolate chip energy bites get better with time so they are
the perfect make-ahead snack. I suggest making the batter on a Saturday and
then roll the balls on Sunday for a healthy snack all week. You can also stick
the bites in the freezer so you don’t need to worry about eating all 20 during
the week, or in one day
