RAW BANANA BREAD BITES

July 23, 2017 by Kelly Packer

Guys. Dare I say that these are the best balls I've ever eaten? Do I? I dare. I'm gonna go there. THESE ARE SO GOOD. If you are anywhere near having a banana bread obsession like me then you are in for a serious treat. Sometimes you want banana bread but you don't want to spend 2 hours+ to make it. Or you want something less carb-y and lower in sugar. Well these gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free,  RAW VEGAN Banana Bread Bites are the solution! These are a perfect boost of energy for a mid day snack, breakfast with coffee, or even for a late night sweeet tooth. These also would be great to take to a BBQ or event to share! I have been handing these out like candy  and everyone LOVES these balls. The base of these are buckwheat flour- which I realize maybe not a lot of people have on hand- but I really feel like it gives these balls this amazing bread-y taste . Buckwheat is a grain like seed so it's actually grain-free and super easy to digest. It's also fairly cheap to buy (I have seen it at Whole Foods for $2.99🙌🏼)  It's a really versatile flour so if you can get your hands on it, I really recommend it. Plus I will be using it a lot in my recipes to come :) BUT If you don't want to make the effort, I am assuming you could use almond flour or oat flour (you can make your own oat flour in 5 seconds by placing oats in a blender) in place of buckwheat but I haven't tried it. If you do let me know how it turns out:) These have an amazingly nutty but smooth texture ( although they are nut-free!) and sweetened with a few dates and stevia. A perfect combo. So let's get to it! 😋😋😋

RAW BANANA BREAD BITES  

 

3 pitted dates 

1 ripe banana

3/4 cup sunflower seeds (or any other nut)

1/2 cup coconut flakes or shredded coconut (plus more for rolling)

1/4 cup quinoa flakes (or oats)

1/2 cup buckwheat flour

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp stevia

 

 

Blend in food processor until thick dough forms. Roll into balls and then roll in shredded coconut :)

 

I like to keep mine in the freezer so the banana last longer!

 

Enjoy! :)
