The moving process has gone fairly smoothly (knock on wood) except for one small mishap; forgetting to call the gas company. Oops….
The past few days have been filled with cold water and no working oven, which is accurately reflected in today’s recipe. If it doesn’t require a stove (or a microwave) to make, that’s what I’ve been eating. These chocolate and banana energy bites were the perfect snack to throw together yesterday afternoon. They are so so good and are a great solution for the 3 pm slump or a sweets craving!
Chocolate Banana Energy Bites
via the ny melrose family
ingredients:
1 ripe banana
1 cup pitted dates
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
3/4 c uncooked rolled oats
2 tbsp ground flax seed
2 tbsp chia seeds
1/4 c chopped walnuts
2 oz. dark chocolate, broken into pieces
directions:
Combine all ingredients except the walnuts and chocolate in a food processor and process until it forms a paste, adding more oats if the mixture is too soft. Add the walnuts and chocolate and pulse a few times to incorporate and slightly break up the chocolate and walnuts without chopping them too fine. Using about a tablespoon of the mixture at a time, roll into balls. Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

I’m not usually much of a banana person but I know I need to incorporate it into my diet and this sounds like a great way! and glad the moving is going well, minus the gas company thing!

Oh man, cold water! Hopefully it gets turned on quickly for you. These bites sound amazing. I have all the ingredients for something similar, but I haven’t taken the time to whip them up. Shame on me 😉

i looooove alter eco chocolates! i made energy bites this weekend too! pb & chocolate and apple pie. 🙂
Sounds like a great on-the-go snack! Good luck settling in 🙂
Yum, these look like the perfect snack! I’m always needing a small something between lunch and dinner and this would do the trick!
I have made something like this before, but I didn’t put banana in it. That sounds like a delicious addition!
Love energy bites! I make my coconut almond date rolls almost every week for a healthy snack to reach for. I’ll have to try these to mix it up!
These looks so yummy! Perfect to take to work for a little pick-me-up snack.
I love this! Sounds so delicious. xx

Mmm this sounds delicious! I’ve made something similar to this but never with bananas! I will have to try them!
This is my favorite combination!! Whenever we go out for ice cream, I always get a chocolate banana shake. This seems a little healthier to suppress that craving 😉
Oh my gosh…these look so yum and healthy too. Perfect pre work out nibbles;) Hope your water and kitchen are up and running very soon, girl. Man, that is not fun!
