Ingredients
- 1 overripe banana
- 1/4 cup raw cashews (about 1.5 ounce)
- 1 tablespoon flax seeds, ground
- *3 tablespoons oatmeal (regular or quick oats)
- 2 medjool dates, pitted
- 1/4 vanilla bean, split and scraped
Directions
-
Cut the banana into slices about 3/4-inch thick and place them on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on 60% power for about 7 minutes, until most of the moisture has boiled out of the banana.
-
Scrape the banana off the plate while it is still hot (makes cleanup easier) and allow to cool.
-
Add the banana and dates, and scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the processor. Blend into a thick paste.
-
Moisten your hands. Scoop up the paste by heaping teaspoons and form into small balls. Place each one on a plate, not touching. Cover and keep refrigerated.
