Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls With Banana
I remember a few years back when Reese's came out with a limited time Elvis Presley peanut butter cup that had banana in it. He was famous for this combo, and I always thought it was odd. Well, I tried it.. and I regret not trying it sooner.
I was forced by a friend to try out this Reese's and let me say it was actually really tasty. Since then I try to use this combination over and over again, in different situations like banana bread and more.
These are perfect to toss in your child's lunch for school, serve up as a breakfast option, or after school snack. These are so simple to make and if you have a little older kids they might want to help make these tasty oatmeal bites.
It is a great time to teach your child about cooking. I think it is important to teach cooking as a life skill so that when they leave to go off to college one day, they can cook for themselves. This is a really good starter recipe. No baking required and minimal steps is all it takes.

The beauty of this recipe is that there is no baking required. Within minutes you can whip up these Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls With Banana. Kids love them and so adults.
I have found that the riper the banana is the sweeter you will find these peanut butter banana oatmeal ball will be. It is the same thing when you make banana bread.
I have also used quick oats as well as rolled oats and both work well. You will find you have more of a chew if you use rolled, and quick oats will be less chewy overall.
I also will say that each time you might have to play around with the mix. Sometimes you might find the mix is a little drier than the first time or wetter.
When you work with bananas you can't fully gauge on size and moisture that comes from them. So if you find the texture is a little wet, add some more oats to help get a thicker consistency.
