# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1/2 cup mashed banana (1 medium banana)
03 - 1/2 cup almonds
04 - 1/2 cup pecans
05 - 1/3 cup maple syrup
06 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

# Steps:

01 - Add all the ingredients to a food processor and pulse the mixture for 10 seconds. Scrape down the sides, then blend again until the mixture is fairly smooth, leaving slight texture. Blend until the dough begins to roll around the food processor.
02 - Scoop a portion using a medium cookie scoop, roll it between your hands to form a ball, and place it on a parchment-lined plate or baking tray. Repeat until all dough is shaped.
03 - Chill the energy balls for 30 minutes to firm up, then enjoy!

# Additional Notes:

01 - If the balls fall apart, the mixture may need to be processed longer for a finer texture.
02 - The energy balls will firm up as the oats absorb the maple syrup.
