For when you crave something sweet without baking, but want more than empty calories. Banana acts as a natural binder and sweetener, while oats provide slow-releasing carbohydrates. This is the healthy, fibre-rich 'cousin' of the coconut ball, ready in 15 minutes, but perhaps even better the next day once the oats have softened.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Oats (Gluten)

Instructions

1 ✓

Mash the bananas completely into a pulp with a fork.

Tip: The riper (browner) the banana, the sweeter and creamier it will be.
2 ✓

Mix in the oats, desiccated coconut, and cocoa powder. Knead together thoroughly.

Tip: Oats need time to absorb the moisture.
3 ✓

Let the mixture stand in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. This makes it easier to shape.

Tip: Chilling firms up the ingredients, making them stick less to your hands.
4 ✓

With wet hands, form walnut-sized balls and roll them in desiccated coconut.

Tip: Wet hands prevent sticking.
5 ✓

Refrigerate until serving to firm up.

Tip: Best served cold; they take on a 'cake-like' texture.

Recipe FAQ

The mixture is too soft and won't hold together.
It depends on the size of the banana. Add a little more oats or desiccated coconut and let stand for 10 minutes to absorb moisture.
