Girl, let me tell you about this absolutely divine breakfast snack that’s been my go-to for those hectic mornings at work! Trust me, your coworkers will be peeking over their cubicles, asking what that heavenly aroma is.
Say hello to my Maple-Pecan Banana Bread Energy Bites! These little balls of happiness are not only Instagram-worthy but also packed with the good stuff to keep you energized through those endless morning meetings.
What you’ll need (because I know you’re already excited):
• 2 ripe bananas (the spottier, the better honey!)
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• Pinch of sea salt
Now, let’s get our hands dirty (in the best way possible):
1. Mash those bananas like they owe you money! 💅
2. Mix in your oats, chopped pecans, and all other ingredients until well combined
3. Pop the mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes (perfect time for a quick scroll through TikTok)
4. Roll into bite-sized balls (about 1-inch diameter)
5. Optional but totally worth it: roll them in extra chopped pecans or coconut flakes

Store these babies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days (if they last that long – mine never do! 😉). They’re perfect for grabbing on your way out the door or when that 10 AM hunger strikes.
Pro tip: Make a double batch on Sunday, and you’ll thank yourself all week long. These are also customizable – swap pecans for almonds, add dried cranberries, or throw in some protein powder if you’re feeling fancy!
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times these have saved me from those overpriced coffee shop pastries. Plus, they’re healthier and, let’s be honest, way more delicious!
