Ingredients

2 ripe bananas
⅓ cup Plant Strong Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup pure maple syrup, or to taste
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 tablespoon chocolate balsamic vinegar or Mandarin Chocolate balsamic vinegar
2 cups oats
1 cup Plant Strong Dark Chocolate Granola, lightly crushed

Directions

Crush or blend your chocolate granola into smaller pieces.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Mix in the almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, balsamic vinegar, and oats.
Add the crushed granola to a separate bowl. Using a small spoon, scoop up the sticky chocolate balls one by one, then roll each ball in the granola to coat the outside.
Scoop the coated balls onto a tray or plate, and flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon. Freeze until firm, or for best texture, overnight.
Serve frozen.
