Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas, mashed

1 ½ cups rolled oats

1 tsp ground cinnamon

¼ cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)

¼ cup honey or maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

¼ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

¼ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined and smooth.

    Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed. If using, fold in the chopped nuts and dark chocolate chips.

      Shape the Bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.

        Freeze: Once all the bites are formed, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1-2 hours, or until the bites are firm to the touch.

          Store: Once frozen, transfer the bites to a zip-top bag or airtight container, ensuring they are well separated to prevent sticking. Store them in the freezer for up to a month.

            Enjoy: Whenever you need a quick snack or a healthy dessert, grab a couple of frozen banana cinnamon oat bites and enjoy them straight from the freezer!
