Oatmeal Banana Bites
8 servings
These muffin-like bites use only pureed banana as a sweetener, have no added oil, and use whole-grain oats and oat flour. Added bonus: They can be made in just minutes!
Ingredients
Makes 8 Servings
- 1 c (81 g) rolled oats
- 1 c (104 g) oat flour
- 1 tsp (5 mL) baking powder
- 1/4 tsp (1.2 mL) iodized salt
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp (0.6 mL) nutmeg
- 1 c (24 mL) mashed overripe banana, or 2 bananas
- 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 F (177 C). In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, oat flour, baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir through until well combined.
-
Add the banana and vanilla (and chocolate chips, if using) to the dry mixture and stir through until combined. Using a cookie scoop, place mounds of the batter (about 2-2 1/2 tbsp or 30-37.5 mL) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Optional: Try raisins or other dried fruits in place of the chocolate chips!
-
Bake for 14-15 minutes, until slightly golden. Remove and let cool on pan for just a minute, then transfer to a cooling rack.
