Banana Oat Chocolate Chip Energy Bites
Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook Time: 0 mins | Course: Breakfast | Yield: 18
Banana, oatmeal, peanut butter, and chocolate chips make up these nubbly little breakfast (or anytime) bites. Perfect with a cup of wake-up for when your on the go. Sometimes I’ve seen these formed or rolled into perfect balls, mine get crumbly so I mold them into a reused dumpling container or ice cube mold. Might be good with coconut and craisins too.

2 cups rolled oats
1 very ripe banana
½ cup peanut butter or almond butter
¼ cup ground flax seeds
¼ cup mini chocolate chips
1 Tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp honey, optional
Layer ingredients in order in a stand mixing bowl and cream until the dough comes together, and is incorporated. Scoop dough by tablespoonfuls and press into a small mold such as a dumpling tray, ice cube tray, or mini muffin tin. Refrigerate covered with plastic wrap for at least 30 minutes. Unmold and store in the fridge in a ziplock bag.
