Banana Energy Bites

⅓ cup creamy almond butter , slightly heated for easier mixing. You can also use another nut butter (cashew, peanut, hazelnut etc.) or seed butter (sunflower , pumpkin etc.) of your choice.

2 tablespoons maple syrup , you can also use vegan (or regular) honey, agave or any other liquid sweetener of your choice (Lakanto sugar-free maple syrup, allulose etc.)

¼ cup extremely ripe mashed banana , if you're allergic to bananas or not a banana fan, you can also sub with unsweetened applesauce or even pumpkin puree but you may need to adjust the sweetener amount

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

⅛ teaspoon sea salt

2 cups gluten-free rolled oats (if you need a grain-free option, sub with 1 cup roughly chopped coconut flakes and 1 cup roughly chopped sliced almonds, you want to roughly chop them until they resemble the size of oat flake)

2 tbsp plant-based protein powder , we like NuZest Just Clean or Sprout Living Pea Protein but you can use your favorite. We have not tested this with a Whey protein powder since we wanted to keep this recipe vegan but feel free to do so if it fits with your dietary preference.

¼ cup chopped cashews , you can also sub with another nut or seed of your choice
