Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups mini chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Mash them thoroughly with a fork until they are smooth and no large chunks remain.
Step 3
Add the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until fully combined.
Step 4
If desired, fold in the mini chocolate chips for added sweetness and texture.
Step 5
Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and form into small balls or drop spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon for even cooking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the bites cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Store the Banana Oatmeal Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
