The inspiration from these came from a mix of 2 things: 1. Craving banana bread and not wanting to turn on my oven in the summer in my non-air conditioned apartment, and 2. an Instagram post from @Shutthekaleup that included a banana in a raw bite recipe. I simplified the ingredient list and cut down on sugar and nut butter to make these a bit lighter!
These bites are chewy and satisfying without leaving you feeling weighed down. They are packed with so much goodness in a small bite, and have all the delicious flavors of banana bread! If you are looking for a more traditional banana bread, I recommend my gluten-free 5-ingredient blender banana bread. I have many "non-bakers" tell me it is completely foolproof!
Packed with so many super foods: Cacao, Hemp, Maca, Oats, Banana, Coconut Oil, Almonds, Cinnamon. --> Those are actually all the ingredients, and they are all superfoods in my opinion.
