A ripe banana, a bowl of ero overnight oats and a few minutes. That is all it takes to make a batch of soft, chewy energy balls you can keep in the fridge for the week.
Makes: 10 to 11 balls · Prep: 5 minutes · Bake: 10 to 12 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 ripe medium banana
- About ¾ cup ero Cacao, Hazelnut & Dates, or your favourite flavour
- Optional: a handful of chocolate chips or a pinch of cinnamon
The cacao flavour already has cacao nibs, hazelnuts, cocoa powder and dates, so it brings plenty of flavour and crunch on its own.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mash the banana in a bowl until smooth.
- Stir in the ero oats until everything is well combined. Add chocolate chips or cinnamon if you like.
- Roll into balls about the size of a strawberry and place them on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly golden. Let them cool before storing.
Tips
- The riper the banana, the sweeter and softer the balls.
- Every ero flavour works. Try Apple, Pecan & Cinnamon for a fall version.
- Store them in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
Why we like them
They are made with the same ingredients as your morning jar: whole oats, milk protein, chia, flax, nuts and real fruits such as dates. Make a batch on Sunday and you have a snack ready for the week.
