Banana Bites

Making homemade bite sized treats is a great way to make sure that you have a healthy snack. I modified my Oatmeal Bars Recipe to make mini-muffins.


BASE RECIPE:
3 ripe bananas
2 cups oats (dry)
½ cup Once Again Lightly Toasted Creamy Almond Butter
½ cup coconut butter
½ cup diced dried apple or dates
1 tsp almond extract or coconut extract (pick the flavor you wish to feature)

Instructions:
• Heat oven 350
Spray a small muffin tin (I used coconut oil since I used coconut butter in the recipe)
• Combine ingredients
• Add to the muffin tin – fill each cup the same size so they cook evenly
• Cook for 15- 20 minutes (Check to see if it is done cooking by inserting a toothpick at 10, 15, and 20 minutes into the largest bite as each oven runs a bit differently.)


Serve:
Have available as a snack or serve a few with Greek Yogurt and Fruit as part of a balanced breakfast.
