Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds
  • 3/4 cup oats or oat flour
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bananas: Start by mashing ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth but still slightly chunky; this will serve as the natural sweetener and binder for your bites.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine oats or oat flour, toasted sesame seeds, and a pinch of sea salt—this mixture adds texture and that nutty crunch that defines these bites.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the banana mash into the dry ingredients along with honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract, then mix everything thoroughly until well incorporated.
  4. Shape the Bites: Form the mixture into small, bite-sized balls or flattened discs using your hands or a tablespoon, depending on your preferred size and shape.
  5. Chill and Set: Place your Banana Sesame Bites on a lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and allow flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for meilleur flavor and easier binding.
  • Lightly toast sesame seeds beforehand to enhance aroma and crunch.
  • Adjust sweetness based on the natural sweetness of your bananas.
  • Chill bites thoroughly for better texture and easy handling.
  • Store bites in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent drying out.
