Ingredients

Main

  • 2 pieces ripe bananas (the spottier, the better for sweetness)

  • 0.5 cup nut or seed butter (peanut, almond, or sunflower seed butter)
  • 2-3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional but delicious)
  • pinch salt (enhances flavor)
  • up to 0.75 cup mix-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, seeds, coconut, dried fruit)

Instructions 

  • Mash bananas until mostly smooth.
  • Stir in nut butter, honey, and vanilla until combined.
  • Add oats, cinnamon, salt; mix until mixture holds together.
  • Fold in your chosen mix-ins, adding more if needed.
  • Chill mixture for 20–30 minutes, then roll into balls and chill for another 10–15 minutes.

Notes

Use damp hands when rolling to prevent sticking.
