Banana oat balls recipe
Cooking time: 0 minutes
Serves 25
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 4 teaspoons cocoa powder
- 1 medium sized banana, lightly ripe
- 1 teaspoon grated zest of 1 orange
- 1.5 tablespoons tahini or nut butters (almond or peanut butter)
Method
- Place oats and cocoa in a blender. Blend until texture is similar to fine breadcrumbs
- Add remaining ingredients and blend until it forms a soft dough
- Roll 2 heaped teaspoons of the mixture into a small ball. Repeat for remaining mixture
- Refrigerate for 1 hour until the balls are firm. Once firm, enjoy!
Tips
- The dough may seem quite soft initially, but they will become firmer in the fridge
- Choose nut butters with no added sugar or salt
- Tahini (made from ground sesame seeds) is a good source of healthy fat
- Eat the orange after using the zest or slice left over orange and add to chilled water for a refreshing flavoured drink
- Zest is the coloured outer part of the peel of citrus fruit, often used as flavouring. Avoid using the white pith underneath as it can taste bitter
- Zest can be used to add flavour in baking, salad dressings and marinades
