These energy balls combine ripe banana and almond butter with rolled oats for a chewy, naturally sweet snack. A short chill in the fridge firms them up for easy grab-and-go portions. They work well for breakfast on the run, post-workout fuel, or a lunchbox treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, mash the banana until smooth.

  2. Add the almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana and stir until well combined.

  3. Add the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and salt, and mix until a thick, sticky dough forms.

  4. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.

  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes to firm up for easier rolling.

  6. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll between your palms into a 1-inch ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form about 16 balls.

  7. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set before serving.

  8. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
