Simple 7-Ingredient Recipe

Dish Name: "Golden Crisp Honey-Nut Banana Bites"

A warm, gooey, and crunchy treat that’s quick to make with just 7 pantry staples! Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert.

Ingredients (Serves 2-3)

1. 2 ripe bananas (the spottier, the sweeter!)
2. 1 cup rolled oats (or quick oats)
3. ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
4. ¼ cup chopped nuts (peanuts, almonds, or walnuts)
5. 1 tsp cinnamon
6. 1 tbsp butter or coconut oil (for greasing)
7. Pinch of salt

Instructions

Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook Time: 12-15 mins | Total Time: ~20 mins

1. Preheat & Prep – Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
2. Mash & Mix – In a bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in honey, cinnamon, and salt. Fold in oats and nuts until fully combined.
3. Shape & Bake – Scoop 1-tbsp portions of the mixture, roll into balls, and place on the baking sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork (for extra crispiness!).
4. Bake – Pop in the oven for 12-15 mins until golden and firm at the edges.
5. Cool & Enjoy – Let cool for 5 mins (they’ll firm up). Serve warm or at room temp—delicious alone or with yogurt, ice cream, or extra honey drizzle!

Why It’s Great:

✅ No flour, eggs, or dairy (easily adaptable) ✅ Naturally sweetened (no refined sugar) ✅ Crunchy outside, soft inside (texture heaven!) ✅ Kid-friendly (fun to make together)

Pro Tip: Swap nuts for chocolate chips or shredded coconut for a twist! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. 🍌✨
