No-Bake Banana Cinnamon Energy Bites

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Mash the Banana

1. In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth and lump-free.

2️⃣ Add Wet Ingredients

1. Add peanut butter or almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and ground cinnamon.
2. Mix thoroughly until creamy and well combined.

3️⃣ Mix in Oats & Add-ins

1. Stir in the rolled oats.
2. Add any optional mix-ins such as mini chocolate chips, chia seeds, flaxseed, or vanilla extract.

   • Too wet? Add more oats.
   • Too dry? Add a drizzle of nut butter or honey.
