Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, such as blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries)

1/4 cup sunflower seeds or chopped nuts (optional)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup almond meal (or any nut flour)

Cooking spray or parchment paper

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with cooking spray.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Use a fork to mix the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture.

      Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the rolled oats, almond meal, ground cinnamon, and salt into the banana mixture. Ensure everything is well incorporated, creating a unified batter.

        Fold in Berries and Seeds: Gently fold in the mixed berries and sunflower seeds (or your choice of nuts, if using) into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter without over-mixing.

          Form Bites: Using your hands or a cookie scoop, shape the mixture into small, bite-sized balls or patties, placing them onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them appropriately, as they will slightly expand during baking.

            Bake Until Golden: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the Bites turn golden brown and feel firm when touched.

              Cool Down: Once baked, remove the bites from the oven. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for approximately 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve & Enjoy: After cooling, these bites can be enjoyed right away or stored in an airtight container for up to one week. They make for a fantastic breakfast on-the-go, a quick snack, or a healthy dessert alternative!
