Effortless Banana Bread Balls (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
02 -
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
03 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
04 -
1/3 cup maple syrup
05 -
1/2 cup pecans
06 -
1/2 cup almonds
07 -
1/2 cup mashed banana (just one, medium-sized)
08 -
2 cups rolled oats (the old fashioned kind)
# Instructions:
01 -
Set the balls in the fridge for 30 minutes so they firm up. Then dig in and enjoy.
02 -
Grab some dough with your cookie scoop. Roll it in your palms to make a ball. Put it on a plate or tray lined with parchment. Keep rolling until you use up all the mix.
03 -
Dump everything in your food processor. Pulse a few times for about 10 seconds. Scrape the sides. Keep blending until you get a mostly smooth mix but leave it a little chunky. You want that dough to start moving around the bowl together.
# Notes:
01 -
If your balls keep crumbling, you probably need to blend a bit longer until the texture is nice and fine.
02 -
Once you let them hang out, the oats drink up the maple syrup and you'll notice they get firmer.
