banana energy balls

An easy, healthy breakfast or post-workout snack, refined sugar-free and vegan.

Banana Energy Balls with Chocolate Chips

Old-fashioned Rolled Oats

Pecans (or walnuts

Flaxseed Meal

Peanut Butter (or almond butter)

Maple Syrup

Cinnamon

Vanilla Extract

Salt

Dark Chocolate Chips

Peel, mash the bananas, and measure 1/3 cup. It&#039;s important to be precise, or the batter will be too wet if you add too much banana.

In a food processor, add all the ingredients,  except the chocolate chips: rolled oats, pecans, flaxseed meal, mashed banana, peanut butter maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt  Process on high speed for 45-60 seconds just enough to bring ingredients together into a sticky dough.

Transfer the dough to a bowl. If the dough is too sticky, fold in an extra 1/4 cup rolled oats as well. The dough should be easy to roll into a ball, not runny or too wet.

Fold in chocolate chips. Set aside in the fridge for 10 minutes.

Slightly oil hands with coconut oil to prevent the batter from sticking to your hands. Roll one tablespoon of batter into a ball and repeat until you have made 12 energy balls.

Place the energy balls on a plate covered with parchment paper.

Refrigerate for up to 7 days in an airtight container or freeze and thaw at room temperature 3 hours before eating.

Chia Banana Bread Energy Bites

ripe banana (from 1 medium ripe banana)

peanut butter (or almond butter or pecan butter)

honey

walnuts (or pecans)

chia seeds

cinnamon

salt

Optional add-in:

(1 serving) Vital Protein Collagen peptides (about ¼ cup protein powder)*

For the drizzle:

chocolate

coconut oil

Add all ingredients (besides ingredients for the drizzle) to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until they are well combined and come together like cookie dough. You should still have some chunks of nuts. FYI: you may need to stop a few times and scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Process again until combined.

Use a medium cookie scoop to grab dough and then roll into balls. You should get about 18 balls. Place energy bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals until chocolate is melted. Drizzle over balls, then place back in the freezer for 10 minutes. Balls should be kept in an airtight container in the freezer and will last up to 3 months. Enjoy them straight from the freezer. If they are too hard, let them sit at room temp for 5-10 minutes.
