Ingredients

    1 3/4 c. instant oatmeal
    1 banana, very ripe
    3 tbsp Honey
    1 tsp cinnamon, ground
    1/4 tsp cloves, ground
    1/4 tsp salt

Tips

Keep balls frozen for easy transportation during runs! Mix up the recipe by substituting favorite fillings and spices.


Directions

1.) Put oats, banana, honey, salt, and spices into food processor and blend.
2.) Once the mixture is well blended, add raisins and dates and pulse a few more times being sure to not over mix.
3.) Roll mixture into small bite size balls with hands (or with a cookie scoop) and place on cookie sheet.
