# Ingredients:
→ Key Components
01 -
1/2 cup pecans
02 -
1/3 cup maple syrup
03 -
1/2 cup almonds
04 -
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 -
2 cups rolled oats (old fashioned style)
07 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
08 -
1/2 cup ripe banana, mashed (about 1 medium)
# Instructions:
01 -
Toss everything into a food processor and pulse for about 10 seconds. Push the sides down with a spatula, then blend again until smooth with some texture remaining. Keep blending until a dough starts to form and moves around the processor.
02 -
Take a medium cookie scoop, grab some dough, and shape it into a ball by rolling it in your hands. Place each ball onto a tray or plate covered with parchment paper. Do this until no dough is left.
03 -
Let the balls chill for 30 minutes in the fridge to set. Then dive in and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
If the mixture isn't sticking well, keep blending until it's more finely processed.
02 -
The oats will soak up the maple syrup over time, making the balls firm.
