RAW BANANA BREAD BITES
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! :)
