Scale

🛒 Ingredients (makes ~12–15 bites):

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter for allergy-friendly version)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup gluten-free oats

  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips or raisins (optional)


Instructions

📝 Instructions:

Step 1: Prep the Mixture
In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add peanut butter and vanilla extract, and stir until well combined.

Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients
Mix in gluten-free oats and optional chocolate chips or raisins. Stir until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3: Form the Bites
Use a teaspoon or small cookie scoop to form bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.

Step 4: Freeze
Freeze for at least 1 hour, until firm. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2–3 weeks. Serve chilled or let sit a few minutes to soften before eating.

Notes
