Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe banana (about 1/2 cup mashed)
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Mash the banana in a bowl, then stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.
  2. Fold in the oats, protein powder, salt, and chocolate chips until a thick, clumpy dough forms.
  3. Scoop 1-tablespoon portions, roll into 12 balls, and coat with coconut or cocoa if you like. Serve right away or refrigerate for a firmer texture.

Notes

For the cleanest slices of flavor and the best chew, refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes before eating. They also firm up a bit more overnight, making them easier to toss into a lunch bag.
