Ingredients
-
4 Large Bananas - approx. 480g (The riper the better)
-
50 grams of Desiccated/Dried Shredded Coconut
-
50 grams of ground nuts. (Almonds or Hazelnuts are my favorite)
-
400 grams of Jumbo Oats
-
60 - 100grams of Raw Cacao Nibs for the healthier option or just plain old chocolate chips
-
1 teaspoon of Baking Powder
-
2 teaspoons of Cinnamon
-
3 teaspoons of Vanilla Extract
Directions
-
Turn on the oven and let it be heating up. Set the temperature to 170C. Also line a baking tray with some baking paper.
-
Grab a large bowl and throw the bananas in. Mash them up using a potato masher.
-
Add the cinnamon, vanilla and baking powder to the mix and give them all a really good mix up.
-
Add the coconut, nuts and chocolate chips and mix them.
-
Lastly add the oats and mix until all of the oats are mixed in.
-
Now that you have finished mixing the next step is to make the balls. A level tablespoon makes the right size ball.
-
Take a scoop and mold it into a ball with your hand. Place the balls on the tray with a small gap between them. The mix should get you around 36 - 40 balls.
-
Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them as oven temperatures vary.
