Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas, mashed

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth with no large lumps.
- Add almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined.

- Add dry ingredients to wet and fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in any optional add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to hydrate the oat flour.
- Scoop batter into muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Notes
Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness and texture. For a nut-free version, swap almond butter with sunflower seed butter. These bites freeze well for up to 3 months. Add chocolate chips, walnuts, or raisins for variation.
