Ingredients:
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 ripe, fresh avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and mashed
- 1 very ripe banana, peeled and mashed
- 3 Tbsp. agave syrup
- 2 Tbsp. almond butter (or sunflower butter for nut-free)
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- In a medium bowl, combine oats, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. In a separate small bowl, mash avocado and banana together until smooth. Stir in agave syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract. Add the avocado mixture into the oats, stirring until ingredients are well combined.
- With a small ice cream trigger scooper, add scoop onto prepared baking sheet. Flatten with spoon to 1/2-inch thickness. Repeat to form 30 bites, placing clusters 1-inch apart on baking sheet.
