Banana Truffles

I found this recipe on one of my favorite blogs - Healthy Tipping Point for Banana truffles.

Sounds odd. Tastes delicious. They are kind of (well actually a lot) messy to make, but well worth it.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup raw oatmeal
• 1/3 cup whole wheat pancake mix
• 1 egg white
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup almond milk (I used regular milk)
• 4.5 inches of banana (cut into three 1.5 inch pieces)
• 1/4 cup whole pecans, crushed
• Maple syrup to taste

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine first five ingredients in small bowl.

• On a plate, spread out crushed pecan.
• Grease cookie sheet.
• Separate mix into three piles.
• Take one segment of banana and coat in the pancake mix. It will be kind of sticky and wet, but that’s fine.
• Form ball around the banana segment, and then roll in the crushed pecans.
• Place on greased cookie sheet.
• Repeat with other banana segments.
• Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
• Remove, plate, and drizzle in maple syrup.
• Enjoy!
