The problem I have when trying to eat clean is I am a snacker. And I want a snack normally at night, after dinner. Mr. J and I have found a new love for grapefruit and we have eaten an embarrassing number over the last couple of weeks. But sometimes, you need something more than a piece of fruit. These banana balls were loved by everyone in the house and satisfied the craving for something a little more than grapefruit.
Banana Balls
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 2 T pure maple syrup
- 1 T all-natural nut butter (Use your favorite)
- 3 T coconut flour
- 1 t cinnamon
- 6 T unsweetened, shredded coconut
- pinch of salt
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients until a dough begins to form.
Drop balls, teaspoon size, onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
Enjoy :)
I will say, that we gobbled a lot of them down after baking them, but with the extras, I placed in the refrigerator and then re-warmed the next day on 400 for about 5-10 minutes. I preferred the texture the next day. They were even more awesome!
