Vegan Banana Bread Energy Balls Healthy And Easy No Bake Energy Bites

Banana is one of the favorite fruits of my husband and he always buys more than what we two can easily finish. The result- there will always be some frozen and some over-ripe bananas in my kitchen. That’s the reason you will often see me posting banana recipes on my blog. Today I am sharing the recipe of one of my favorite no-bake energy bites- Vegan banana bread energy balls. It’s a very easy recipe that does not need any baking or cooking. You just need to soak dates in warm water for a few minutes, de-seed them, and then put all the ingredients in a food processor. Finally, make balls with the mixture and sprinkle some cinnamon powder. Your no-bake vegan energy bites are ready! These banana bread energy bites are great for post-workout snacking too. You can also carry them to your office or college to beat hunger pangs in a healthier way.

Recipe tips & tricks

Use overripe bananas to make these energy balls.If possible, use Medjool dates.Adjust the number of dates depending on how sweet you want the energy balls to be. Don’t skip the step of soaking the dates. Soaked dates help in binding the balls.You can also add more seeds and nuts of your choice.To make gluten-free energy bites, use a gluten-free variety of oats.Instead of sprinkling cinnamon powder, you can also roll the balls in desiccated coconut, chopped nuts, or melted chocolate.If you are a calorie counter, make small-sized balls.

One thing which I like a lot about energy balls is that they can be modified very easily. You just need to change a few ingredients and a completely new flavor gets created.
