Why You Will Like This Recipe

These Banana Oat Energy bites are an easy no bake treat., There's a little bit of protein from the peanut butter and ground flax seed (which I store in my freezer and just scoop it out whenever I need it) to help keep you going until Dinner or Lunch.

All you do, is mix all the ingredients in a bowl with a spatula and then scoop them out onto a parchment lined sheet tray. Pop themin the fridge for a couple of hours. Anybody that doesn't know how to cook can do that.

It's also a great way of using over ripe bananas. Since thetemp is only 10 degrees right now, I just popped these outside for a bit until they hardened up. Don't let them stay out there too long. That's one thing nice about having an outdoor patio that can also double as a freezer during the Winter time. 🙂
