Ingredients

Fruits

2 pieces ripe bananas (the spottier, the better for sweetness)

Dry ingredients

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (use certified gluten-free oats if needed)
0.5 cup nut or seed butter (peanut, almond, or sunflower seed butter)
2-3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional but delicious)
Pinch salt (enhances flavor)

Mix-ins

up to 3/4 cup mix-ins (such as mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, dried fruit)

Instructions

Mash the bananas until mostly smooth.
Stir in nut or seed butter, honey, and vanilla until combined.
Add oats, cinnamon, and salt; mix until mixture holds together.
Fold in your chosen mix-ins, adding more if needed.
Chill the mixture for 20–30 minutes, then roll into balls and chill for another 10–15 minutes.

Notes

Using damp hands helps prevent sticking when rolling into balls.
