Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1 overripe banana
  • 1/4 cup raw cashews ((about 1.5 ounce))
  • 1 tablespoon flax seeds (, ground)
  • 3 tablespoons oatmeal ((regular or quick oats)*)
  • 2 medjool dates (, pitted)
  • 1/4 vanilla bean (, split and scraped)

Instruction

  • Cut the banana into slices about 3/4-inch thick and place them on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on 60% power for about 7 minutes, until most of the moisture has boiled out of the banana:
  • Scrape the banana off the plate while it is still hot (makes cleanup easier) and allow to cool.
  • Pulse the cashews in the food processor until coarsely ground. Add the flax seed and oatmeal and pulse a few more times.
  • Add the banana and dates, and scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the processor. Blend into a thick paste.
  • Moisten your hands. Scoop up the paste by heaping teaspoons and form into 10 small balls. Place each one on a plate, not touching. Cover and keep refrigerated.
