Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 40 grams pumpkin seeds
  • 1 ripe banana
  • A squeeze of lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Add the walnuts, oatmeal, sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is crumbly.
  2. Add the banana, vanilla sugar, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Blend again until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Scoop small portions and roll into balls. Optionally, flatten them slightly into discs.
  4. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • You can substitute other seeds (like chia or sunflower) for variety.
  • To make them vegan and sugar-free, replace vanilla sugar with pure vanilla extract and add a touch of maple syrup if more sweetness is desired.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth and flavor variation.
  • Great for meal prep, school snacks, or as a healthier dessert option.
