Energy bites, bliss balls, round little snack things… Whatever you call them, they are a great snack and are packed with nutrients so are the perfect pick-me-up. Typically the flavours can be a bit predictable so we’ve given them a bit of a shake up with three exciting flavours that you’ll fall in love with. Super easy, super tasty, super nourishing. What more could you want?
Banana French Toast Ingredients:
1 cup oats
3 tbsp dried banana
4 medjool dates
2 tbsp maple syrup*
Pinch pink himalayan salt
Method:
Place the dried banana and date in a small bowl and cover with hot water. Leave to soak for about 10 minutes.
While the bananas and dates soak, add the oats to a food processor or high speed blender and blend until they resemble fine breadcrumbs.
Drain the banana then add them with the maple syrup and salt to the oats. Blend until a sticky dough forms.
Taking about a tablespoon at a time, roll the mix into balls and repeat until all the mixture is used up.
