Fibre rich Banana Bites
CHEWY CINNAMON BITES 

Fibre-Rich Banana Bites

Chewy, cinnamon-scented bites that tick both the delicious and nutritious boxes.

Made with oats, psyllium and seeds to boost fibre intake, these little bites help nourish beneficial gut bacteria and support steady blood sugar, mood and brain health.

With minerals and naturally anti-inflammatory fats, they’re also wonderfully satisfying . . . the kind of sweet food that actually helps you feel nourished 

Here’s why:
Oats contain insoluble and soluble fibre, which means you get fewer sugar spikes, a happier gut and gut microbes.
Seeds contain fibre, protein, minerals, fat soluble vitamins and great skin-healthy oils.
And then there’s extra virgin olive oil, a standout in the good fat category. It contains phytosterols, which help to naturally lower ‘bad’ (LDL) cholesterol and has anti-inflammatory actions throughout the body, including supporting all types of hormones.
Don’t be afraid to use it in cooking. The International Olive Oil Council says, “When heated, extra virgin olive oil is the most stable fat, which means it stands up well to high temperatures. Its high smoke point 210ºC (410ºF) is well above the ideal temperature for frying food. The digestibility of olive oil is not affected when it is heated.” 

And the best bit? They’re a total doddle to make.


Ingredients

Makes around 25 bites

2 large ripe bananas
85 g olive oil
140 g maple syrup or warmed honey
300 g whole rolled oats
4 tsp psyllium husk
75 g pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
75 g sesame seeds
75 g black chia seeds
75 g sunflower seeds
Cinnamon, for dusting

Method

Heat oven to 180ºC fan (or 200ºC regular).

1. Line two flat baking/cookies trays.
2. Mash bananas, then mix with oil and maple syrup.
3. Stir in oats, psyllium and seeds until well combined (yes, it’s sticky!).
4. Take tablespoonfuls, squeeze firmly and roll into balls.
5. Place on trays, flatten gently with a fork and dust with cinnamon.
6. Bake for ~20 minutes until golden. Keep an eye on them.
7. Cool completely before storing - soft and chewy inside, crisp outside.
