I was looking for a snack that is easy to make, has only a few ingredients, and that tastes good. I feel like it's difficult to find snacks like that. Everything is processed or junk food.I took to the internet to find a recipe that would fit my criteria. I found a recipe that said it was 2 ingredient pumpkin muffins. I looked at the recipe, and I guess technically, it is 2 ingredients...cake mix and a can of pumpkin. However, if you read the ingredients in the cake mix, you realize that it is about 50 ingredients and very processed. As easy as it would be to mix a can of pumpkin into a cake mix, that wasn't what I had in mind.
So I searched some more. I came across several supposed 2 ingredient recipes, all of which were like the pumpkin muffins. Finally, I found the Chocolate Chip Banana Oatmeal Bites. They were a snack! They were only made with a few ingredients! And I was assuming they tasted good! (They do!!)
These are pretty simple to make, which made me a very happy camper!!
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup quick oats
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
Small handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips
I also add 2 tablespoons of Hemp protein powder
You can add whatever you want...nuts, dried fruit, coconut, etc.
Mash the bananas until they are fairly smooth. Add the oats and the cinnamon, mix well. Mix in the chocolate chips. Using a teaspoon, scoop the mixture onto a cookie sheet.
Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes.
Store loosely covered and eat within 2 days.
I like to have these on hand to snack on or to eat after a workout.
I found these on SimpleVeganista.com.
