Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup rolled oats

3 tablespoons almond butter (or any nut butter of choice)

3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans, optional)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened, optional)

Cooking spray or parchment paper for lining

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Pan: Start by lining a mini muffin tin with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, rolled oats, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well until all ingredients are fully blended together.

      Fold in Extras: If desired, fold in the mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and shredded coconut for added flavor and texture. Mix gently to incorporate.

        Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the mixture into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cavity to the top. Press the mixture down firmly with the back of a spoon to ensure they hold together well when frozen.

          Freeze: Place the muffin tin in the freezer for about 2-3 hours or until the bites are completely frozen.

            Remove and Store: Once frozen, carefully pop the oatmeal bites out of the muffin tin. Store them in an airtight container or a resealable freezer bag for up to 2 months.

              Serve: Enjoy these frozen pie bites straight from the freezer as a delicious snack or breakfast on the go!
