Servings: 21 bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 1 cup raw almonds
- ⅔ cup rolled oats regular or gluten free
- 1 very ripe banana
- 5-7 medjool dates pitted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 T cinnamon
- dash of sea salt
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine walnuts, pecans and oats until a fine, grainy texture.
- Add dates (I start with 5 dates), banana, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon and combine until a dough starts to form. If the mixture is too dry, add another date or two. If it seems to be too wet, you can add in some more oats about 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time.
- Roll into bite sized balls. If it is hard to form into balls, freeze the dough for about 15-20 minutes first for easier rolling.
- Refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes to set and enjoy. Store in an airtight container for about 5 days in the refrigerator.
Notes
- If the "dough" seems a bit too thin, you can add some extra oats in. Feel free to pulse them in the food processor or just stir them in whole.
- Quick oats can also be used in place of the rolled oats if that is what you have on hand. Both should work fine.
- You can freeze these no bake banana oat balls for several months. I also chill them for about a week in an air tight container.
