Banana Oat Energy Balls

I have been trying to find a good snack that isn't just empty calories and that isn't overly sweet. These definitely "fit the bill". If you are looking for a sweet cookie-type ball, this is not it. This is naturally sweet and filling. At only 96 calories for each ball, 2 of these equal a small bag of chips - but these are way healthier for you and will sustain you through your weak moments. :)

INGREDIENTS
3 ripe bananas
3 cups rolled oats (not quick cooking oats)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup milled flax seed
1 tablespoon honey

DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 350* with rack in the middle.
  2. Combine ingredients in medium size bowl, mix until thoroughly incorporated.
  3. Scoop 1 heaping full tablespoon of mixture and roll into ball, place on oiled cookie sheet 1" in apart. If mixture is too sticky, place bowl in fridge for 30 minutes to chill before rolling into balls.
  4. Bake for 15 mins. Cool on cookie sheet for 10 mins.
  5. Makes 24 Servings

OPTIONAL
You may substitute raisins or chocolate chips for the walnuts. The Nutritional Information is only for the walnut version.


Nutritional Information per serving are as follows: 96 calories; 4g fat; 0g saturated fat; 12g carbohydrates; 2g fiber; 3g sugar; 3g protein

*Values here may not be 100% accurate because the recipes have not been professionally evaluated nor have they been evaluated by the U.S. FDA.
