Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup old-fashioned oats

1/4 cup nut butter (choices include peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional mix-ins: 1/4 cup chocolate chips, dried fruit chunks, or chopped nuts of your choice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Start by peeling the ripe bananas and placing them in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash them vigorously until the mixture is mostly smooth, but feel free to leave some small lumps for a delightful texture.

    Combine Ingredients: To the mashed bananas, add the old-fashioned oats, your choice of nut butter, honey or maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is evenly blended.

      Incorporate Mix-Ins: If you want to enhance your snack bites, gently fold in any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, dried fruit, or chopped nuts. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture for balanced flavor in each bite.

        Form the Bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy release. Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the mixture and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each portion to allow for any spreading.

          Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the bites freeze for about 1 to 2 hours, or until they become firm and solid.

            Store: Once frozen, transfer the snack bites into an airtight container or a zip-top bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months, maintaining their flavor and texture.

              Enjoy: Whenever you're in need of a quick and nutritious snack, simply grab a few bites from the freezer. You can enjoy them straight away, or if you prefer a softer texture, let them sit out at room temperature for a couple of minutes before indulging.
