About Overripe Bananas…
There’s a strange phenomenon that occurs in our house. Everyone loves bananas and can not get enough of them until they suddenly stop eating them.
When the first brown spot appears, the bananas are declared inedible (and ignored forevermore) by the family. Seriously?
Good News! Overripe bananas don’t have to get thrown out. They can be transformed into some tasty treats like Banana Chocolate Mini Muffins or these delicious Banana Blueberry Oat Bites!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until they are mostly smooth.
Add rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt and stir the mixture until well blended.
Fold in frozen blueberries.
The blueberries should be well distributed throughout the mixture.
Scoop oat bites into 12 equal portions on the prepared baking sheet using a large cookie scoop or tablespoon.
Place the oat bites into the preheated oven and cook for 13-15 minutes until firm. Allow to cool on cookie sheet.
Store in a container with a lid or a zip top bag. Enjoy!
