Ingredients
  

Oatmeal Bites

  • 3 tablespoons mashed speckled banana (about 1/2 medium banana)
  • 1 tablespoon creamy natural almond butter (no added oil or sugar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon pink sea salt
  • 1 scant cup grated apple (I used 1 medium Honey Crisp, skin removed)
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

Maple Almond Drizzle

  • 1 tablespoon unrefined coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons creamy natural almond butter (no added oil or sugar)
  • 3 dashes ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch pink sea salt

Instructions
 

  • For the bites: Heat oven to 350. Line a metal baking sheet with parchment.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the mashed banana, almond butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until combined. Stir in the grated apple, followed by the oats.
  • Form 8 balls, then gently flatten into thick cookie shapes. Bake for 15 minutes or until hot and set. Cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack.
  • For the drizzle: While the bites are baking, mix the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, almond butter, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  • Once the cookies have cooled slightly, use a fork or small spoon to apply the maple almond drizzle to the cookies. Store remaining mixture in the fridge and use on toast, or stir into oatmeal.
  • Enjoy the bites while warm. Store leftover bites in the fridge. Feel free to warm in the microwave if you wish.
