Banana Bread Energy Balls

• servings: 16 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups old fashioned rolled oats

1/2 cup mashed banana (from one medium banana)

1 cup walnuts

1/3 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional: 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

Mix

Add all the ingredients to a food processor and pulse the mixture for 10 seconds. Scrape down the sides, then blend again until the mixture is fairly smooth, with a slight bit of texture. The dough will likely start to roll around the food processor when it's blended enough.

Scoop a ball using a medium cookie scoop and roll it in between your hands. Then place it on a parchment lined plate or baking tray. Continue this process until you've used up all the dough.

Chill the balls for 30 minutes to firm up, then enjoy!
