SERVES: about 20-25

 

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup steel cut oats

2/3 cups coconut flakes

1/2 cup flax seed meal

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 medium banana

sea salt, to taste

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a medium bowl, first mash the banana firmly. Then add in the remainder  of the ingredients and stir until combined. Once combined, place in the refrigerator to set for about a half hour. This will allow for easier rolling. I like to shape them either by rolling or bar style with parchment paper underneath. When all set, you may scoop and roll the mixture into a 1 inch ball and repeat the process until completed. Then you may place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or you may freeze and let thaw in the refrigerator too.
