Calories: 90kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ¼ cup Cairo Apiaries Raw Honey
- ¼ cup nut butter (e.g., almond butter, peanut butter)
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by mashing the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl. Ensure that the bananas are thoroughly mashed, as this will act as the binding agent for the energy bites.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the Cairo Apiaries Raw Honey, nut butter, and, if you like, the optional vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir well to combine all the wet ingredients.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. This will provide the texture, flavor, and nutritional variety to your energy bites.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir the ingredients together until you have a cohesive mixture. Ensure that all the oats are evenly coated.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes. This helps the mixture firm up and makes it easier to form into energy bites.
- Shape Energy Bites: After chilling, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. With clean hands, scoop out small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls. You should get approximately 12 energy bites.
- Store or Enjoy: You can either enjoy your energy bites immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later consumption.
- Workout Fuel: Grab a couple of these Honey Banana Oat Energy Bites before your workout for a quick and natural energy boost. They're also great as a post-workout snack or anytime you need a healthy pick-me-up.
