Granola Bites - an easy vegan snack

This recipe is one that I have enjoyed since before I can remember - Mama started making this when I was new to eating and it's been a regular snack food for me ever since.

Ingredients

2 bananas

1 apple (whatever variety you prefer), quartered and cored. Peeled or not - your choice!

2 cups whole oats

1/2 cup ground flaxseed

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tsp cinnamon (or to taste)

Puree the fruit in the food processor until smooth. Stir in the other ingredients. Scoop into small ball-size bites on a parchment-paper lined cookie sheet. We use a small melon baller/mini ice cream scoop for ease.

Bake at 350 for 17 minutes.

Can be stored in the fridge for a few days-

You may be thinking, why are these adorable turtle photos here? Well, maybe they are racing to get some granola bites. Time to get baking!
