Ladies (and gents), let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight snack that won’t have you feeling guilty at 2 AM. Trust me, I’ve been through those late-night cravings where you’re staring at the fridge like it holds the secrets to the universe. Well, say hello to my Banana-Oat Energy Balls that are literally to die for! 💁♀️
These little bites of heaven are packed with protein, healthy fats, and just enough sweetness to satisfy that sweet tooth without waking up feeling like you raided a candy store. Plus, they’re super easy to make – because who has time for complicated recipes when those midnight munchies hit?
Here’s what you’ll need (I promise it’s all good stuff):
– 1 cup old-fashioned oats
– 2 ripe bananas (the spottier, the better!)
– 3 tablespoons almond butter
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (because chocolate makes everything better)
– 1 tablespoon chia seeds
– A pinch of cinnamon
– A tiny pinch of sea salt
Now, let me walk you through this simple process (you could literally do this with your eyes closed… but don’t, seriously 😅):
1. Mash those bananas like they owe you money
2. Mix in the almond butter and honey until smooth
3. Add your oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt
4. Fold in those chocolate chips (try not to eat them all first!)
5. Roll into cute little balls (about golf ball size)
6. Pop them in the fridge for 30 minutes
And voilà! You’ve got yourself the perfect midnight snack that’s both delicious AND nutritious!
