PROTEIN BANANA BREAD BITES

Sometimes I need a protein filled snack, or side to my meal that doesn't take a ton of time or energy. I wanted to have a treat on hand that felt like it was satiating and satisfying my sweet craving, just like my Chickpea Cookie Dough recipe. This recipe is perfect for protein on the go that isn't a straight up jerky stick. Lately, I am trying to incorporate more plant based meals and snacks.

It obviously doesn't taste exactly like banana bread but it satisfies my protein needs! Let's get into the recipe!

INGREDIENTS

1 Banana, very ripe

1 cup Oat Flour

⅓ cup Maple Syrup

½ cup Protein Powder

⅓ cup Peanut Butter, creamy and salted

Sea Salt

Cinnamon

Chocolate Chips, for mixing in

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a mixing bowl, mash the banana.

2. Add the maple syrup, protein powder, oat flour, peanut butter, sea salt, and cinnamon and combine until a dough-like consistency forms.

3. Mix in the chocolate chips.

4. Set in the fridge to cool, about 30 minutes. This will make rolling it into balls much easier.

5. Once chilled, roll the dough out into balls and place on a parchment lined baking. Place in the freezer to set for about 10 minutes. (this prevents the balls forming into one blob again)

6. Once fully chilled, transfer to an airtight container.

7. Store in the fridge for a week or in the freezer for a few months. Make sure to let them fully thaw before enjoying!
