For a healthy low-fat oatmeal recipe try Oatmeal Banana Bites. We’ve made a ton of oatmeal recipes this year and many of them are healthy snack options that have saved us from binging on too many empty calorie and carb treats. This old-fashioned oatmeal recipe is mostly oats, fresh banana, and dried fruit.
What you need for this Low-Fat Oatmeal Recipe
3 cups ROLLED OATS also called OLD FASHIONED OATS
2 cups BANANA
1 cup DRIED FRUIT
½ cup ALMOND BUTTER
1-2 Tbsp CINNAMON
optional:
8oz can crushed pineapple
2 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
(this recipe makes about 30 ping-pong ball-sized treats)
How to Make Oatmeal Banana Bites
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas very well.
- Add dried fruit. I use a mix of raisins and Craisins in the video recipe, but choose dried fruit to your liking, just be sure to chop whatever dried fruit you use into sizes similar to raisins. Here are current prices for Craisins on Amazon.
- Add almond butter to the bowl, or substitute peanut butter, but realize that peanut butter will have a stronger flavor than the almond butter.
- Then add 1-2 Tbsp of cinnamon powder. If desired, at this point you might add a few optional ingredients. I’ve experimented with crushed pineapple and fresh ginger. If you do add the crushed pineapple, just add an extra 10 minutes to the baking time.
- Mix all the ingredients in the bowl together very well, and then fold in the old fashioned oats to form a thick batter. Check current prices for Rolled Oats on Amazon.
- Mold the batter into shapes slightly smaller than a ping-pong ball and arrange them on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Place in an oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- This low-fat oatmeal recipe will keep fresh for a few days stored on the kitchen counter, but for longer storage keep them in the fridge.
