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.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines

In order to enjoy optimum flavour and quality, frozen items are best used within 3 months of their freezing date. For more tips on freezing and defrosting food, read our article Love Your Freezer.
