Method
- Put the oats, 50g flaxseeds and ½ tsp cinnamon in a food processor and blitz to a coarse powder. Add the bananas and dates, then pulse until combined.
- Divide the mixture into 12 and roll into even-sized balls. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tbsp flaxseeds, rolling so they are well coated, then dust with a pinch of cinnamon. Rest in the fridge for at least 20 mins before eating. Keep, covered, in the fridge for up to 3 days.
