Hey there, foodie friends! _sips coffee_ Let me share my absolute favorite breakfast snack recipe that’s been driving my coworkers crazy with envy. These Maple-Pecan Banana Bread Energy Bites are literally to die for, and they’re perfect for those hectic mornings when you’re running late (story of my life, am I right?).
Trust me, these little bites of heaven will change your breakfast game forever. They’re packed with protein, naturally sweetened, and – bonus points – they’re meal-prep friendly!
What You’ll Need (because we’re about to make magic happen):
• 2 ripe bananas (the spottier, the better!)
• 1½ cups old-fashioned oats
• ½ cup chopped pecans
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch of sea salt
Okay, ladies (and gents), here’s how we make these bad boys:
1. First, mash those bananas like they owe you money! Get them nice and smooth.
2. Mix in your oats, pecans, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
3. Pop this mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes (perfect time to scroll through TikTok or catch up on texts 💁♀️).
4. Roll into cute little balls – aim for about 1 inch in size.
