Banana Oat Bites are so tasty and oh so easy to make. They’re a bargain, too, coming in at less than $2.00 for the entire batch.
I’m not sure if it’s fair to call this a recipe. It’s so ridiculously simple … more of a suggestion. Eleven year old Allie came up with these on a relaxed weekend morning, so they’re her recipe (or suggestion).
Bananas and oats are both great for hearth health. Win-win.
Tip: If you have more ripe bananas than you can use even in this recipe, or if you find a bunch on sale and want to put them to good use, simply peel them and put them in the freezer. I like to freeze them whole on a tray and then store them in air tight bags. They’re perfect for any smoothie and you can make any flavor of n’ice cream with them, too!
